Hi All
From where I'm sitting in Enable Network (LFC), I can see a different changes to "normal" time of day trends compared to the last 3 week of "normal" utilisation. Once the whole country finally moved into level 4 lockdown, it's my opinion that all RSP and LFC network started to be tested, further to this last Friday night (27th) was the biggest peak utilisation Enable networks has every recorded.
While everyone is talking about how download utilisation has increased, we aren't talking about how the upload utilisation has also increase thought the roof and I'm just wonder what point the RSP and LFC will start having contention on the uploads?
Its good too see as a country we are all doing what we can to keep the internet running, and sharing information on overall performance.
I'm predicting that by about Thursday/Friday this week, we are all going to understand what the new Covid-19 utilisation "normal" looks like and we can plan for there.
Forecast models of utilisation growth is interesting to say the least, as there really isn't any historic data too looking back predict a patten and so far no one day has been the same as the other, we are keeping a very close eye working very hard to keep a contention free network, so the end user experience isn't impacted
On the most interesting things I've noticed when the country stop at Dinner Time as the overall utilisation decrease between 5.30pm and 6.30pm, then it ramps up again to the "normal" peaks 8-10.30pm.
Well that my 2 cents. @Ahmad Saeed (ahmad.saeed(a)huawei.com)mailto:ahmad.saeed(a)huawei.com Give me a call off the list and we can talk about your original questions.
