(To be more precise: 78.736 Megabytes In, 82.14 Gigabytes Out)! My personal explanation is that you only take into account the incoming traffic and that for some reason, accounting has been disabled at the EASINET entry into the T1 backbone, therefore only the traffic coming via alternate access points (i.e. secondary or ternary) is really accounted for, however, I could never get any confirmation of this "theory". If this theory happened to be right, I would very much appreciate that adequate mention to it be made inside the files containing the traffic statistics. Olivier
