As promised in the nanog-37 community meeting, here's a summary of monthly traffic from 1999 to present. The disclaimer here is that these numbers are approximate, as they are based on the date stamps on files in an mh-format mail directory, i.e. they're based on the time I fired up the mail reader and slurped them in from the spool, not on the time when they were actually sent. These numbers are probably close enough for trending purposes though. A copy of this message will be sent to nanog-futures for discussion.
