*Restoration:* *The repair or returning to service of one or more telecommunications services that have experienced a service outage or are unusable for any reason, including a damaged or impaired telecommunications facility. Such repair or returning to service may be done by patching, rerouting, substitution of component parts or pathways, and other means, as determined necessary by a service vendor.* https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/OEC%20TSP%20Operations... My understanding, and what we did while I worked for a Tier I ISP, was that even for degraded circuits we had to do everything in our power to restore to full operations. If capacity is an issue and causes TSP coded DIA circuits to be unusable then that falls under the "any reason" clause of that line. - Mike Bolitho On Thu, Mar 19, 2020 at 10:05 AM Tom Beecher <beecher@beecher.cc> wrote:
Yes, you have said that. I still believe you are incorrect.
TSP allows priority for turnup of new capacity , and priority restoration for capacity. There is nothing in the regulations that I can find that would allow TSP to be used to rectify general internet congestion issues.

I've said it over and over again, we have TSP and it could easily be used to enforce priority to emergency preparedness customers. It's built into the language.

EU regulations with such things are vastly different than in the US.

I was getting blasted earlier for suggesting streaming services and gaming DLCs could likely be slowed by government intervention. EU is currently working with Netflix to do just that. It's currently a strong suggestion and even a plead but I maintain that we're going to see this pushed harder in the coming weeks.
In a statement on Thursday, Breton said that given the unprecedented situation, streaming platforms, telecom operators and users "all have a joint responsibility to take steps to ensure the smooth functioning of the internet during the battle against the virus propagation."

We do about 70-80Gbps at peak over the external BGP links we have and I am not seeing a large increase nor am I seeing it spread out over time. We're an eyeball network plus some really large customers.
Anyone else seeing something different? We're now into the 3rd day, so I thought I'd see something change by now.
South Africa and a few other African countries put countries on semi-lockdown from about Sunday.
We've seen a 15% increase in peak traffic on our network since the 17th.
