Extra transit for TENET

Viewing the monitoring graphs for TENET's London node, a new transit circuit through DataHop [web?]is apparent:


Peak speeds are about 50 Mbps. Combined with the Telia peak of ~100 Mbps, this means TENET currently has ~150 Mbps peak transit.

Note the very small outbound. Mmmm, eyeballs.

Another note (I'm working backwards), TENET actually has *FAR* more transit capacity than what you see on those graphs.

In London TENET has 250mbit CIR to Telia, 250mbit CIR to Datahop (primary for NTT/Sprint backup) and 1gig to GEANT2, which also in turn transits TENET to Internet2, AARNET and various other RENs/NRENs.

The reason the capacity is still running as low as it is can be found in the fact that a lot of the bigger sites still have not been migrated to GEN3 yet from GEN2, once they do, this utilization will rise substantially.

Having Datahop and Telia both with the same CIR makes sense for backup purposes.

The maximum I've seen on the GEANT2 peering is about 80-90 Mbps. That's obviously constrained by the international pipe (and demand?).

Do you expect utilization to rise more because of SANReN also? Most of the GEN3 site migration seems to involve rather small increases in bandwidth available.
