Re: Traffic ratio of an ISP

[Prasun Dey <prasun () nevada unr edu>]

Thank you Aaron, 
This is great. This gives an interesting insight regarding CDN as they seem to play a big role here. However, in 
general, what do you call your ISP as? A 'Heavy Inbound' or 'Mostly Inbound'? Is there any community standard about 
this ratio (having 1:10 or higher) to be treated as Heavy Inbound? Or this is just a rough estimation?

Thank you.
