Overview
Netflix Open Connect
The Netflix Open Connect Initiative is designed to provide our millions of viewers the highest quality of experience possible through efforts with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to most efficiently deliver content. To further this goal, we partner with hundreds of ISPs in our operating markets and have multiple solutions available for traffic delivery to your network including embedded Open Connect Appliances and peering at key interconnection locations in select countries. To assist ISPs interested in working more closely with Netflix, this site provides details on our current efforts, guidelines, peering locations and interconnection information, a collection of frequently asked questions, and a request form for those interested in pursuing further efforts.
For other content providers, or those who are simply curious, we share the hardware design and open source software components of our embedded appliances. These designs may be helpful for other providers of large media files, and are very cost efficient. We welcome commentary and improvements, which will be shared with the community with the goal of a faster, less-expensive Internet for all.
