On our previous post (Biggest @ AMS-IX), we mentioned our upgrade at the AMS-IX to 120 Gbps and being the biggest AMS-IX traffic provider. We are proud to mention another threshold beaten: for the last week our traffic has been exceeding 500 Gbps, which is almost double of our traffic a year ago. This means we still double our traffic each year, and we currently expect this happening next year as well.
There are different estimations of the whole Internet traffic, but we may generate 0.5 up to 1% of the world Internet. In 2010 we will keep growing!

August 19, 2010 at 5:40On what link is this 500G traffic measured? Is this including internal network traffic? As the links to the amsix is showing only half of this graph on the previous blog entry? Or is this all peerings and transits totalled?

This is the sum of all the traffic on all transit and peering interfaces. The internal traffic is not counted, even between remote locations.
Of course, this blog was posted in december 2009, so the traffic count is much, much higher now :)
