Traffic Statistics for Yesterday
Does anyone have any data on how the memorial event for Michael Jackson effected the global backbones? This was seen as another inaugural type of traffic day to most of the people I've talked to. -S

Don't know about backbones, but this is the best statistical summary I have seen. TECHCRUNCH : Michael Jackson’s Memorial, By The Numbers http://ow.ly/15H7Op

Not sure if this qualifies as backbone, per se but a quick scan of a few IX public data graphs shows roughly the following increase for the day over the previous Tuesday: SIX: 25% increase TorIX: 23% increase LAIIX: 21% increase NYIIX: 19% increase

We are far from a global backbone, though the eyeballs transiting through us appear to have not needed more bandwidth. Was there high bandwidth apps for the memorial? Seems strange to charge for something you'd give out free over the Internet. Jack
Speaking from a provider's view, this is what we saw/heard during the event. Total concurrent streams (across the board not just us): 781,000 Traffic wise, we peaked at close to 45G over our daily average across all locations during the MJ event. This was all live streaming traffic for one of the well known sites.

99.99% of my userbase is in the rural Midwest. Needless to say I saw no increase in bandwidth consumption. Now if it was a streaming memorial for George Strait, Garth Brooks, Little Jimmy Dickens or Willie Nelson I suspect the consumption would have been noticeably higher. I'm sure I would have had much higher bandwidth usage if the PBR National Championship was made available for streaming. Justin
Nothing like inauguration, but then we're on summer semester schedule and sparsely populated :-) There was a noticeable spike in OUTBOUND traffic and connections, mostly that ill-behaved Octoshape (udp/8247), used by CNN and maybe others. Jeff
Ditto here. Did not see any increase. Frank -----Original Message----- From: Justin Shore [mailto:justin@justinshore.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 3:39 PM To: Shon Elliott Cc: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Traffic Statistics for Yesterday Shon Elliott wrote:

It was big (flash traffic roughly doubled globally at the peak), but not in the same ballpark as Obama inauguration.

Our traffic was doubled for MJ, actually 1/3 *more* than Obama. However, we're regional to DC, so I can only imagine that since the inauguration was a huge local event, many of our customers were either working from home that day or actually there and not watching it on the internet. -evt

Dear Craig; Are you planning to write this up along the lines of your Iranian election work ? http://asert.arbornetworks.com/2009/06/iranian-traffic-engineering/ Regards Marshall
