NYCBSDCon 2014: Serving one-third of the Internet via FreeBSD
by Scott Long
Around the world, people are enjoying billions of hours per month of streaming movies and TV shows from Netflix. In fact, nearly one-third of the Internet traffic in North America originates from Netflix servers, more than any other single source. The engine of this traffic is the OpenConnect network, a single-purpose content delivery network powered by FreeBSD 10. This talk will explore the architecture of the OpenConnect network, the key role that FreeBSD plays in its success, and a peek at what the future holds for FreeBSD at Netflix.
Scott Long lives near Boulder, CO, and has been working for Netflix since May 2012. He has been a user of BSD since 1992 and a FreeBSD committer since 2000. Scott was previously employed by Yahoo and Adaptec, and has worked extensively in device drivers and the CAM storage subsystem of FreeBSD. He holds a BS degree in Aviation, and enjoys flying airplanes and hiking in the mountains with his family.
