RE: Traffic Statistics for Yesterday

["Eric Kujawski" <ekujawski () softlayer com>]

Speaking from a provider's view, this is what we saw/heard during the event.

Total concurrent streams (across the board not just us): 781,000

Traffic wise, we peaked at close to 45G over our daily average across all locations during the MJ event.  This was all 
live streaming traffic for one of the well known sites.

Thanks,

We are far from a global backbone, though the eyeballs transiting 
through us appear to have not needed more bandwidth. Was there high 
bandwidth apps for the memorial? Seems strange to charge for something 
you'd give out free over the Internet.
