My non-scientific measurements (i.e. pings to well known european sites) show an increase in packet loss to about 6%, the 10 day average previously was less than 1%.
That is similar to what the Internet Traffic Report for Europe shows at this URL http://www.internettrafficreport.com/cgi-bin/tr_graphpage.pl?score/7/Europe For those who don't know, Ebone had a policy of zero packet loss on the network 99.5% of the time and we managed to exceed this on almost all of our links. In other words, the graph of packet loss was a horizontal line with the occasional small blip. The major change in the traffic report graphs is that packet loss is six times greater after the Ebone shutdown. There was also a dip in traffic levels that partially corrected itself. Presumably the bottom of the dip represents convergence and the lack of a full recovery is partly due to organizations that were not multihomed and who had not yet found alternate providers. --Michael Dillon ex-Ebone
