This episode of LINXcast is a panel session on content access as featured at the LINX114 member meeting of the London Internet Exchange.

Moderated by Simon Beevers, a member of the LINX Programme Committee, the panel features Ronan Mullally (Akamai Technologies), Ben Nicklin (Limelight Networks) and Tom Rigg (Broadband for the Rural North - B4RN). Among the questions covered were:

• Capacity planning: How do you approach it? How do you manage normal growth and then separately, how do you handle special events or "unexpected growth".
• Do service providers have the "tools" and processes to influence how traffic is delivered? (i.e across existing caches, or specific interconnections (peering, private or public).
• And the other way around, meaning what methods are content networks using to decide where and how to deliver traffic?
• What opportunities are there for service providers and content delivery networks to work together?
