Apology - Rod Donald Funeral
A BIG sorry to Operators who may have been affected by higher than usual traffic this morning. As you know we like to issue pre-event warnings of potential traffic or support issues. Today we supported the streaming of the Rod Donald Funeral Webcast, picking up the load mid-event and using anycast routing to distribute the load. So we didn't get much warning either. The decision was made on the phone as we worked setting things up. While not a huge event, it did produce a higher than normal load. There was a steady 45Mbps coming out of our USA server, peaking to 85Mbps. ISPs *really, really* should peer to avoid this cost and also help us service the international viewers. It reflects badly on them internationally. There are at least 4 more significant events before the end of the year, so Operators are strongly urged to peer. Once again - sorry if your traffic graph got a nasty kink in it today. Rich
