Starr report - as seen from MAE East
For grins (well actually in response to pressure from our press relations folk) I made a quick graph of MAE East utilization for today. The result is at: http:/www.mae.net/starr There was a jump of about 100 Mbps at 4pm Eastern time. There was no sigificant change in traffic at MAE West. Steve

Before I get a bunch of corrections... the jump in traffic was at 1400 EDT (2pm).

Maybe it was just a small report. HTML, not scanned in GIFs. A little over 800K uncompressed.

It was small as most web pages are today. I don't think the government servers were hit even close as hard as some of the big news sites. I bet CNN has 10 x the hits the LOC site had. NetRail hosted the servers for US Treasury and USDA. We gave them a 100 BaseT ethernet connection into a core router, but it never was a big deal because their servers would die way before the like utilization ever got high. I have found many government sites are like that. I would not be surprised if LOCs servers died before the links maxed out.

Two of our customers had the report. The increase in egress traffic was quite noticable. Based on the bw reports from yesterday, folks were *very* interested. Dave -- Sr. Network Engineer Network Architecture Frontier GlobalCenter
