We’re still out here quietly peering! This week we started phase 1 of a total IX infrastructure rebuild project. But first, we had to get some 400G ports online for a peer! Stay tuned for some major upgrades and expanded capacity! #ipx #keeptrafficlocal #400g

@Crowsnestbb @DQE_Comm How are some of the speed tests looking for servers that are available over the IX? I think the current record we know of is ~40gbps! 😎

[Crowsnest Broadband @Crowsnestbb]

Santa and his elves didn’t preload the content this year. PIT-IX hit our usual prime-time peak traffic levels early on Christmas morning. #xbox #PlayStation #keeptrafficlocal #ixp

[Pittsburgh Internet Exchange @pit_ix]

@nguillam @thking @knownbill @flavioluciani81 The updates are handled differently per platform. Xbox and Playstaion will use their respective CDNs (or caches!) PC will use whatever CDN strategy Epic Games uses themselves. That’s why you’re seeing such a huge spread.

@as42184 Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday is usually our traffic source that stands out.
