Lowell, thanks for your report on your server status a few days ago. I crunched some pcap dumps and agree that traffic is looking good.

Are we fully on the new DNS system, or still only 3/5 of the DNS servers?

I run a server in the US currently set at speed 1.5Mbps. I'm seeing an average of 12 requests / second. There are still some spikes up to 100 requests / second, about one a day. Eyeballing my graph it looks like a spike lasts about 20 minutes. A month ago I was getting more like 30 requests / second, with spikes of roughly 200 requests / second. In November 2005 I was getting 14 requests / second, but don't have measures of spikiness from then.

I'm going to crank my connection speed up after awhile, will report on how that affects incoming traffic.

My server: http://www.pool.ntp.org/scores/72.36.170.170

I would say the new DNS is working great.  I rode in on the
Slashdotting wave, and traffic was a meager 5-15 packets/sec with 2-3
daily TTNet bursts to 400-500pps until last weekend.

Now with the new DNS, more traffic is being sent to those with bigger
pipes. I am set to 1000Mbit, and I am seeing a few dozen bursts daily
to 150pps with about the same 5-15pps base traffic. Seems to be
working like a champ -- at least the load balancing aspect, since the
peaks are shorter in length, lower pps, and more frequent.

Although not as dramatic, the last burst of traffic I saw was a few days
ago.  I usually see 1 spike anywhere from a couple times a day to every> other 
day.  My guess is that slashdot affect (heh, it's actually *good*
this time).  That are or the new dns system is working REALLY good :)
