Thus spake "todd glassey" <todd.glassey@worldnet.att.net>
So the real question was "From an ISP's perspective, I was looking for a general number as to how many user-level protocols you ISP folks route through your infrastructure and what the statistical distribution of total bytes per protocol out of the total bytes moved is/was."
ISPs route IP packets, not user-level protocols. Some ISPs keep statistics on which user-level protocols are in use, and as you note HTTP is heavily dominant.
Since there is much unrest in the ICANN today and US Senators are now screaming about its reform, I would like to pose the question to the ISP members of this group, what will you do about the impending need at the ISP level for:
1) Supporting multiple DNS Roots for your clients
There is only one root, even if it is controlled by a bunch of idiots.
2) Installing and supporting the mechanical concept of eBorders 3) What if anything you folks are doing to produce network infrastructure worthy of being called "Evidentiary Grade"...
I think most folks are still worried about out how to profitably provide basic IP transport; eBorders (whatever that is) and "Evidentiary Grade" networking are stuff for academics. S
