There is a non-trivial amount of WAN traffic flowing between ISPs' private interconnects. They do not touch NAPs at all. I wonder if this factor is taken into consideration when the 1/3 figure was generated.
I'd tend to doubt it.
So you do not think that the estimate include the traffic exchanged at private interconnections either. If this is indeed the case (which is very likely), the figure is not that meaningful.
Do you know any way to get flow stats from every backbone collected in one place and collated?
I'd think most of the backbones have stats data of its own private exchange(s) but I do not think it's publicly available. --Jessica
