This is why even though you may peer with us directly you may not see 100% of the traffic from that interconnection.  (Take SSL for example, it’s often not served via the clusters in an ISP due to the security requirements we place on those racks, and this is something we treat very seriously!)

Does this mean that, if you peer with Akamai at some location, only 
content locally available at that location will come over that peering 
session with the rest coming via other means?  Does Akamai not have 
private connectivity to their public peering points?
