There was a wedding last week and it seems that lots and lots and lots of our users wanted to watch it…..
The graph below shows streaming video traffic for the last week. The time scale is a little confusing, but the low point of the traffic corresponds to the small hours of the morning.
Remember, this is on a 1Gb link. Since there is other traffic on the link, it’s fair to say that we’d have generated even more streaming traffic with a bigger link.
More traffic graphs. This one shows the streaming effect from yesterday’s match. Black is overall traffic, purple is streaming media (nearly all flash for the match period).
Remember that our link capacity is 1Gb. We’ll be putting some shaping in place for the next match :)
Spot when the England world cup match was. The solid curve is data coming into the University and that peak between 3pm and 5pm means we maxed out our connection to the internet for the duration of the match.
