Netflix

Netflix delivers its streaming catalog through Autonomous System 2906, the network behind Open Connect, its proprietary content-delivery system. Rather than renting third-party CDNs, Netflix, Inc. places its own caching appliances inside internet service providers and routes video directly from them, so this network carries a significant share of peak internet traffic in many regions. Registered in the United States, AS2906 is closely associated with entertainment delivery, and its traffic patterns rise and fall with prime-time viewing. Because Open Connect appliances live inside ISPs, a Netflix address often geolocates to the viewer's own region rather than to a central facility.
