We peer with all those except Roblox and G-Core, because our eSports folks told us they didn’t care about them. We don’t connect too many K-12s, and apparently nobody in NYSERNet plays World of Tanks competitively (though I should ask again in case some has started it). To that list we added Ubisoft (22634) for Rainbow Six Siege.

 

Our eSports folks said that none of them are significant bandwidth except for Twitch, which can be huge especially if there’s a formal arena on campus. Most of them have a dedicated video streaming station controlled by the coach during a tournament, and individual players also stream on their own (monetized) channels. One of our campuses had to limit that during tournament play until we were able to give them a bigger pipe to Twitch.

 

Bill.

Matt,

Here is an initial list of the eSports related networks I plan to talk with about establishing peering with I2PX.  The bottom two, G-Core and i3D.net, are already completed.

I'm interested in adding more to this list, if anyone has additional networks we should be considering.  The existing list was generated from requests I've been receiving from I2PX participants and from a quick search of peeringdb.com for networks that mention gaming.

Hello Everyone:

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of E-Sports entities and their

associated ASNs already compiled? If so, and you'd be willing to

share, that would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Matt
