AMS-IX breaks 600 Gbps

The previous post about AMS-IX embedded the traffic graph instead of displaying a snapshot. At least I noticed that AMS-IX now pushes over 600 Gbps [peak] of traffic through the exchange!


But what's this? Number 2 exchange DE-CIX claims a 650+ Gbps peak:


Does that mean the Deutscher Commercial Internet Exchange is now #1?
Comparison of the mean throughputs (AMS-IX: 375 Gbps, DE-CIX: 299 Gbps), daily peaks (AMS-IX: 560 Gbps, DE-CIX: 460 Gbps), and number of interconnected members (AMS-IX: 311, DE-CIX: 264) shows AMS-IX still firmly in the lead. But DE-CIX is forging ahead - AMS-IX's lead doesn't seem as clear as it once was.

AMS-IX breaks 500 Gbps!

[from the AMS-IX status page]

The number 1 internet exchange in the world by traffic volume - AMS-IX in Amsterdam - has reached 500 Gbps!



Notice the well-known flat summer trend. It's interesting to project what the max will reach by December: 550-600 Gbps?

AMS-IX tops 400 Gbps

AMS-IX finally tops 400 Gbps (this happened a few days back, but it's taken me a while to get in front of a PC):


Now the daily graph does only show a 395 Gbps maximum, so this could be [partially] an aliasing issue, but I think it's safe to say that the milestone is passed.

AMS-IX tops 350 Gbps

AMS-IX just keeps carrying more and more traffic. Their latest figures top 350 Gbps:

Take note Teraco / JINX!

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!)
