A major snowstorm hit the Northeastern US yesterday and today, causing many businesses to close, particularly in the Boston area. I was just wondering about what effect this has on network utilization on backbone links in the northeast. * Does it decrease because fewer people have access to high-speed internet access? * Does it increase because many people get on the Internet at home? I would expect that many more people would telecommute during these events, causing high utilization on RAS systems. But would that translate into higher backbone link utilization, since most of the traffic would be local?
