For those ISPs who have high-capacity DIA/IP transit circuits (10Gbps+) feeding major corporate campuses, I'm curious what the traffic charts M-F look like compared to previous weeks. Particularly for what time it begins to rise sharply in the morning, and the daily peak value. I have a theory that such customers in the Seattle area may have particularly odd traffic patterns at present.

Anecdotally for a few things I have access to I am seeing much lower than normal office worker DIA usage.

I’m wondering what general trends people have seen with the recent reduction in travel and increased work from home activities.

I’m expecting that a number of networks are seeing increased traffic demand. Enterprises are likely adding VPN licenses for staff that are now remote, etc..

I would expect increase (and decreases) similar to weekend traffic patterns.

I’m expecting there will be more IPv6 traffic similar to what is seen during the Christmas/New Years holiday on this traffic as well:

What interesting dynamics are you seeing?
