Could you build this?

No Building a globally distributed, highly available edge router for real-time AI and GPU workloads involves deep networking, anycast routing, custom TCP/UDP/WebRTC proxying, and distributed consensus.

What it would actually take: This system requires building high-performance proxy infrastructure using Rust, Go, or C++ on top of eBPF/XDP and DPDK or Envoy, deployed across globally distributed edge PoPs. It involves complex health-checking algorithms, real-time GPU queue telemetry, cold-start latency mitigation, and global state consensus (e.g., Raft) under network partitions.
