That cut makes no sense if you have a generic service that works on any commodity hardware like netflix. Apple does not help or provide your business value. Giving them a cut is stupid and potentially dangerous if they ever launch a competing service.
60k/second across 24 cores, admittedly on very fast hardware (though not using all the cores that hardware has). Pretty much the same number on 16 cores.
In general, telling someone they're "way off" about performance and citing 6 year old benchmarks isn't a winning plan.
In any case, it's immaterial to what we're discussing. My slow laptop could verify all the signatures for a busy day of updates in a couple seconds, and it's clearly -possible- to put a big fraction of this horsepower in a router.
accept, reverse engineer, if data is aggregated - send spoofed randomised data, if not - just play back time I actually worked on slower speed and use a VM.
As for price, let them make an offer and see how valuable the data is for them.
