CANARIE - Content Delivery Service

CANARIE's Content Delivery Service (CDS) provides access to content from approved providers for Research and Education institutions. The service is delivered on a dedicated network; CANARIE’s CDS IP Network that is logically separate from the CANARIE IP Network providing the R&E service. The peering relationship with a Content Provider (CP) can be established either through public Internet eXchanges Points (IXP) or private links.

Currently, the CDS IP Network has links to the following IXPs: SIX (Seattle, WA), Pacific Wave (Seattle, WA), TorIX (Toronto, ON) and NYIIX (New York City, NY). Entering into a peering relationship with a CP is governed by, and subject to, CANARIE’s Content Peering Policy document, as approved by CANARIE’s Board of Directors in January 2011.

CANARIE will peer with a CP who supports the research and education community by peering to better support cloud computing, as well as outsourced IT services such as e-mail.
