As is, practically all Internet traffic is long-haul. I can believe that this likely to be true for web browsing, but I *know* that at least one Boston-area ISP has a "private interconnect" with MIT because they had enough traffic locality to warrant it. Folks doing part-time telecommuting are likely to generate traffic with very high geographic locality; unfortunately, in a lot of cases, because of routing nonoptimalities, they wind up generating "long-haul" traffic instead.. - Bill
