Our current average suggests about 10% of our total traffic volume stays within the Austin metro area. I suspect that this may climb as high as 15% with more of the population on the net as a percentage of the total population, and due to the several examples I have of the direct competative advantage of local peering for local providers and local content offerings. At least until the social basis for communication changes to the extent that people prefer to talk to people they don't know v. people they do know.

I'd guestimate that local peering and stuff accounts for as much as 5 to 15% of our traffic.Perhaps someone who is actually running a local exchange can report on how much traffic they are carrying that is now not being sent to a MAE-equivalent? I think that actual experience and hard data will surprise us all. --tep-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
