I'd guestimate that local peering and stuff accounts for as much as 5 to 15% of our traffic.
I don't see numbers quite that high with local peering, but would guestimate that 50% or more of out nntp traffic is across a local exchange. I'm hoping to move another 20%+ of my total traffic off onto AADS next week, which by no means is a local exchange, but Chicago ISP's have never been able to agree on local peering, so AADS it is for Chicago still.
Perhaps someone who is actually running a local exchange can report on how much traffic they are carrying that is now not being sent to a MAE-equivalent? I think that actual experience and hard data will surprise us all.
