Akamai and Google do have 100Gbps connections to HKIX so traffic volume should not be low, though not majority. Anyway, I did post on FB on that day (Nov 12) when CUHK campus was heavily attacked by the Police that HKIX is not really that critical to HK Internet traffic as there are many Internet hubs in HK... Che-Hoo no longer with HKIX On Thu, Nov 21, 2019 at 10:50 AM Tom Paseka via NANOG <nanog@nanog.org> wrote:
In terms of bits, MOST Hong Kong traffic does NOT traverse HKIX.
However, Hong Kong ISPs, almost entirely communicate with each other of HKIX.
Sources like Akamai and Google, however, do not typically traverse HKIX. These are the majority of traffic.
99% of Hong Kong is connected to HKIX, by traverses? No.

Thanks everyone for the replies. My conclusion is that no one here knows whether HKIX handles 99% of internet traffic for HK or not.
It's a number.
