Guess it was a good idea to upgrade that Akamai cluster's uplink to 10GE, even though 2*GE (or was it 4*GE) looked sufficient at the time. Remember folks, "overprovisioning" is a misnomer, it should be called "provisioning for robustness and growth".
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.
This may be just idle curiosity, but what the hey.
