I'm sure this has been suggested before but it would be interesting to see total flow across Citylink switches at APE and WIX
It's not 55 Gbit/s if that's what you're thinking! We've been asked this before but it's not as straightforward as it might appear particularly for the WIX. Not all the traffic that traverses the APE switches (and there are now 10 of them - 3 in the Sky Tower, 1 at 125 Queen St, 1 at 16 Kingston St and five more dotted around the Auckland CBD) is peering traffic. Some ISPs are now using the PublicLAN that peering happens over to talk to their customers as well. But it's fair to say that summing the ingress and egress stats and dividing by two would be pretty close. Wellington is much harder as many, many Citylink customers in Wellington are not part of the peering setup. That said when we've got some spare cycles (hah!) it's something we'd like to do but wait a wee while before you start holding your breath!
