TENET has new transit providers

The TENET traffic graphs show NTT as a new provider:

And a 10G interface, to boot! This is likely in preparation for the arrival of SEACOM, as TENET's international bandwidth is the current bottleneck.

Traffic on Datahop has been halved, and traffic on Telias is at a quarter to a third of normal rates. So they are either being phased out or being used as backup providers.

Gro'in' pains

Enough 80's references, let's skip to the meat of this post (so to speak). This is from a recent traceroute; DataHop might want to rename one of their nodes to accomodate some expansion in their traffic:

11 196.32.209.25 (196.32.209.25) 165.620 ms 160.809 ms
12 ge2-20-0-cr0.tch.uk.as6908.net (78.41.155.161) 236.578 ms 198.183 ms
13 te-4-2.r00.londen05.uk.bb.gin.ntt.net (83.231.146.69) 151.840 ms 153.098 ms

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.
