Often we can see the ports at the IX flatline in these cases. I've been working to improve some of them, for exampe at the DetroitIX we have 300G of capacity and you can see the impact at the IX here: https://www.detroitix.com/#stats If you look at the monthly graph you can see other game download events. It can be incredibly hard to right-size this stuff, please do reach out to myself or Niels if things didn't work right for your network. Also you should reach out to your carriers who may have had congestion to ensure they are upgrading their networks as well.
