Yep, most seems to be port 8247. Which seems to be CNN streaming service. And yay for the p2p options now in flash... nothing like that to make it look like a comp'd system/attack. --Harry On Tue, 2009-01-20 at 12:24 -0500, Patrick Muldoon wrote:

We're seeing traffic levels nearly 2x normal. On 9/11/01, we were probably only about 50% higher than the norm. Of course, lots has changed, so that's probably not a fair comparison.

As an aside... thanks to BBC for streaming this, I couldn't find another source that wasn't overloaded/jerky/ugly :( Thanks Brandon. -Chris

BitGravity did a great job.
Nearly every major CDN or web host was involved with the inauguration in some manner, with no reported issues to speak of. Some "facilities-based" providers even placed infrastructure with their competitors to be extra certain they could handle the traffic spike. With so many involved, and in the interests of full disclosure, do you or Comcast have any fiscal interest in BitGravity's streaming of this event? ;) Drive Slow Paul Wall

The Beeb's HD multicast feed is about 23Mbit/s to the host, and we received it at quite decent (subjective) quality here on a JANET-connected university site. The feed runs continuously (as far as any 'as-is' test stream does :) and this morning is pretty flawless. The interesting aspect of the HD stream was seeing how various systems coped with the CPU load. It was good to have some HD content available that encouraged people to install vlc, find out a little about multicast, and system issues in receiving it. Thanks again Beeb :) -- Tim
We also enjoyed a large multicast stream -- we selected the one provided by Northwestern University's retransmission of C-SPAN's coverage. We consumed the stream via KanREN's link to The Great Plains Network (our Internet2 connector). If anyone is on the list from Northwestern University: Thanks for your work... if nothing else, it helped a bunch of dorks in Kansas watch the events without consuming precious I1 capacity. :D -- Brad Fleming Network Engineer Kansas Research and Education Network Office: 785-856-9800 x.222 Moblie: 785-865-7231 NOC: 866-984-3662 On Jan 21, 2009, at 5:29 AM, Tim Chown wrote:

Peering sessions to Limelight tripled in downstream today. No problems, just a lot of traffic. Total aggregate into our network nearly doubled, but we service a lot of SMB and government agencies in the DC area, most of which had today off or telecommuted. -evt

Port 1935 to LimeLight is what we saw as well. All is back to normal at this point.

Yes, tres beaucoups. Mostly udp/8247 for the streaming (CNN). But oddly enough, for a given client, more outbound traffic than inbound. Streaming gone peer-to-peer? Jeff

During the inauguration our traffic was higher than normal, but levels only reached our average daily peak. More specifically, we climbed to our average daily peak earlier than normal, and it stayed at a sustained rate, but it didn't break any records here.

Interesting read on yesterday's streaming. My experiences seem to mirror a lot of what is written here: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/01/21/the-day-live-web-video-streaming-failed... -Jim P.
Is there a general study done on the overall impact of inauguration streaming traffic ? any summary on what is the overall gain of bandwidth, etc.
Arbor had a good writeup on the traffic that they saw. http://asert.arbornetworks.com/2009/01/the-great-obama-traffic-flood/ Regards, James Pleger On Jan 21, 2009, at 7:14 PM, Ong Beng Hui wrote:
