"The Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX) is claiming to be the world's largest public Internet exchange, after setting a new traffic record earlier this month of 233Gbit/s. It says it now shifts more than 1.5 Petabytes a day, on behalf of over 250 ISPs and carriers."

Interestingly the AMS-IX is also the peering point for (nearly*) all the GSM roaming mobile data of the world. I wouldn't think this adds too many gigabytes, but it shows how successful they are with their niche-cutting.
