AMS-IX breaks 300 Gbps

AMS-IX finally breaks the 300 Gbps mark.

And they'd been stuck on 287 Gbps for so long I thought there was an infrastructure-related limit.

Considering they announced reaching 250 Gbps in February, this implies a compound growth rate of about 3.5%-4% per month.

[And from a presentation POV, interesting to note that the new baseline is not 0, but 100 Gbps! This is more than any exchange not in the top 5!)

This infrastructure-related limit is called summer holidays. This dip has been happening every year for the past decade. Remember that it takes people to click on websites and download clips off YouTube; each time the weather changes there's a clear influence on the traffic compared to the same day a week before.

Of course!

Different hemispheres mean different seasons. Oops.

Well spotted.
