Iâve seen from PeeringDB that every ISP reveals its traffic ratio as Heavy/ Mostly Inbound or Balanced or Heavy/ Mostly Outbound. Iâm wondering if there is any specific ratio numbers for them
If they're an ISP that sells to end user consumers, they're going to be a heavy eyeball traffic - all the big packets are coming inbound from content providers and going to consumers. Content providers will of course show lots of big packets heading outwards toward eyeball networks - but those usually aren't called ISPs. If they're selling mostly transit, then they're more likely to be balanced, but again, then they're probably not really an "ISP" as the word is usually used.
