2 Who are we?

3 Background Used by more than 2.5 million Internet facing applications in 150+ countries Offices in San Francisco, Washington DC, London and Singapore 3,500+ new customer sign-ups daily 34 PoPs dispersed across 23 countries 4 minute sign-up process Self-learning network that becomes more performant, secure, and intelligent with every request

4 How does CloudFlare Work? CloudFlare works at the network level. Once a website is part of the CloudFlare community, its web traffic is routed through CloudFlare s global network of 34 (and growing) Points of Presence. At each edge node, CloudFlare manages DNS, caching, bot filtering, web content optimization and third party app installations. 4

5 IPv6 Gateway With the Internet's explosive growth and the number of on-net devices closing in on IPv4's maximum capacity, CloudFlare now offers an automatic IPv6 gateway seamlessly bridging the IPv4 and IPv6 networks. For most businesses, upgrading to the IPv6 protocol is costly and time consuming. CloudFlare s solution requires NO hardware, software, or other infrastructure changes by the site owner or hosting provider. Enabled via the flip of a switch on the site owner s CloudFlare dashboard. Users can choose two options: (FULL) which will enable IPv6 on all subdomains that are CloudFlare Enabled, or (SAFE) which will automatically create specific IPv6-only subdomains (e.g. 5

6 but it didn t start out that way

7 Starting Out Network is key part to our service Lots of choices, then changes and new choices as you grow. Edge Devices? Vendor Choices? PoP locations?

8 Starting Out Started out small, single point of presence Grew quickly to needing to go to more locations Simplicity of growth going with a large colocation provider Single transit provider But how to make your way through all of these choices?

9 Starting Out Colo: It s so easy to start out in the cloud But if your product is SaaS or IaaS, it quickly wont make sense Large Colo Provders: Ease of doing business in multiple markets Growing from 1 > 9 cities in North America with a single colo vendor in primary markets / cities.

10 Starting Out Connectivity Partners: The internet is what keeps us all here Making the right choices for connectivity and someone to work with helps start the business and grow the right way Our business heavily based on Anycast, so right choices here make a huge difference Peering! Peering in the correct locations brings performance and cost benefits, a must, even while beginning.

11 Starting Out Technology Choices Anycast Software?

12 Hardware Vendors Foundry L3 Switch Started with Foundry switches acting as Layer 3 edge. Migrated to Juniper MX-80 s at 14 Data centres. Migrating from 1G > X*G > 10G and beyond. Juniper MX-80

13 Hardware Vendors Juniper MX-80 Quickly grew out the hardware we were running Migrated to Juniper MX-480 s, repurposing MX-80 s for smaller sites. Adding Cisco ASR9k s and beyond Juniper MX-480

14 Starting Out But, starting out now is a router even needed? Eg: NANOG64/1014/ _Temkin_Netflix_Open_Connect v5.pdf New hardware is able to perform pretty close and with some fancy optimizations, you can fit relevant parts of full table into said hardware.

15 Starting Out Security / DDoS Scale and ability to deal with it Example here was several years ago. Scale of attacks has grown well over 10x.

16 Starting out Attacks cost real money 1 Can easily drive a starting out business out Often used by competitors Security should not be omitted at any point! 1. DDoS-attack-can-cost-a-company-more-than dollar
