second point. For a year now nothing has been available and given the nature of the new market place, how could one reasonably expect them to be available except by looking a through put figures at the MAEs. MAE East in particular.
At the SD NANOG, all of us NAP operators said we would look into a format for making raw figures available. This would give us at least some starting point to start making at least a US-based over-all traffic growth metric. I'm less concerned with inter-backbone traffic...that will always be signifigant, but with providers coming up at different exchanges, and adjustment of routing policy, traffic get's sloshed from one exchange to another, and then pulled away when private exchanges get added, etc. If the other NAP operators are out there listening, can you send me some email so we can get organized?
