During most of last semester, our caching subnet saw 100Mb/s IN and 400Mb/s OUT average. This was with an uplink that averages ~ 2.5Gb/s. It was turn-key - it took me more time to push the approval through our legal dept than it did to get the servers online. They support both IPv4/6 and use eBGP to keep track of your address space so they can correctly route your customers to the local on-campus cache. They restored caching last night at 8pm and we saw about 400Mb/s offload to the cache and our internet link flattened out. ----------------------------------- Robert G Colantuoni Senior Programmer Analyst CIT - Network and Classroom Services SUNY Buffalo [email protected] 716.645.3552 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
