Laurent,

If a 10G port for transit is paid by comcast $30/Mbit/s monthly
that's 0.19 cent/internet customer/month for a new 10G port
to properly desaturate this particular link.

Did I compute something wrong?

Laurent

Yes, now you need to multiply that by the numerous other ports that have the
same conditions and need upgrades.

If I look at:
http://www.ams-ix.net/statistics/

That's 1.2 Tbit/s peak for European biggest IX so 120 10G ports
so about 22 cent/customer/month assuming Comcast alone generates this
kind of bandwidth and pays what mom & pop AS pay for transit.

It still doesn't compute to me...
