This echoed events a month or so ago, and I'm curious as to what is making these releases more, uh, network-impacting.

Game releases are hardly a new thing, but these last two events seem to be almost an order of magnitude higher than what we're used to (at least on our predominantly eyeball network.)

Any thoughts from the community? We're taking steps to accommodate, but from a capacity-planning perspective, this seems non-linear to me.

Or is it just in my head?

Yeah we saw that as well. Must be a game release or something.

Yes, that’s my understanding as well.
