If I may change the thrust a bit, this is of interest to me. Just because we're in the midst of similar - changing from 2xGE to 10GE and increasing the number of Akamai nodes. Anyone have similar stats on that sort of conversion, and what to expect? >From what I can tell, there's a fair bit of local, off-net traffic coming to ours, so I'm curious what the turn-up may look like.
