Howdy, Keep in mind I am basing this 'idea' off of fixed orbit's data which can sometimes be a bit out of date, etc. (in theory, and based upon number of peers, data): If you have a network with these upstream connections to the Internet you should see inbound traffic utilization in this order: AS Name --------- 3356 Level3 7018 ATT 3549 Global Crossing 4323 Time Warner Telecom 10796 TimeWarnerCable/RR I am trying to determine why I am seeing it in this order: 3356 Level3 4323 Time Warner Telecom 3549 Global Crossing 10796 TimeWarnerCable/RR 7018 ATT I suppose there is a certain level of convergence where these providers inter-connect, and also the source network of the traffic plays a big part of it, i.e. if most of the sources are directly connected to Level3, etc. I am mainly wondering why 7018 sends us such a little amount compared to even 10796. Also, with the providers already connected, if we added a new one, which one would (in your opinion) benefit us the most on spreading the inbound traffic out better? I realize that we can use communities, and prepends to control the inbound flow, I am just speaking from a purely natural standpoint. thanks, -Drew
