Re: Traffic Statistics for Yesterday
It was big (flash traffic roughly doubled globally at the peak), but not in the same ballpark as Obama inauguration.

However, we're regional to DC, so I can only imagine that since the inauguration was a huge local event, many of our customers were either working from home that day or actually there and not watching it on the internet. -evt

Traffic Statistics for Yesterday
Does anyone have any data on how the memorial event for Michael Jackson effected the global backbones? This was seen as another inaugural type of traffic day to most of the people I've talked to. -S

Not sure if this qualifies as backbone, per se but a quick scan of a few IX public data graphs shows roughly the following increase for the day over the previous Tuesday: SIX:25% increase TorIX: 23% increase LAIIX: 21% increase NYIIX: 19% increase

RE: Traffic Statistics for Yesterday
Speaking from a provider's view, this is what we saw/heard during the event. Total concurrent streams (across the board not just us): 781,000 Traffic wise, we peaked at close to 45G over our daily average across all locations during the MJ event. This was all live streaming traffic for one of the well known sites.

I'm sure I would have had much higher bandwidth usage if the PBR National Championship was made available for streaming. Justin

Re: Traffic Statistics for Yesterday
Nothing like inauguration, but then we're on summer semester schedule and sparsely populated :-) There was a noticeable spike in OUTBOUND traffic and connections, mostly that ill-behaved Octoshape (udp/8247), used by CNN and maybe others. Jeff
