Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 100 rows came out of a blueprint — 15 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.
Rules it was built with
- CDN/content provider: Netflix Open Connect, Google Global Cache, Akamai, Cloudflare
- Interconnect type: PNI (Private Network Interconnect), IXP public peering, on-net cache
- On-net cache appliances: installed in operator data centers
- Cache hit ratio: percentage of requests served from local cache
- Traffic offload: GB/day offloaded from transit links, cost savings
- Interconnect capacity: port speed and utilization
- Content categories: video streaming, software updates, web content, gaming
- Peering policy: open peering, selective peering, paid arrangements
