Traffic ratio of an ISP

2019-06-19 Thread Prasun Dey
Hello, Good morning. I’m a Ph.D. candidate from University of Central Florida. I have a query, I hope you can help me with it or at least point me to the right direction. I’ve seen from PeeringDB that every ISP reveals its traffic ratio as Heavy/ Mostly Inbound or Balanced or Heavy/ Mostly Outbound

If you're asking an ISP, consumers will always be inbound. It's the end user. The outbound would be where the information is coming from, like data centers. I'm not sure you're going to get any better answer without a more specific question. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-234

It kinda depends on the application that's being used. For example, videogaming has a ratio somewhere around 1:2.5 since you're only transmitting metadata about the players environment across the wire. The actual video is typically rendered at the end user's side. So it's not very bandwidth heav

I run an eyeballs/isp network for about ~50,000 subscribers, and I see about 1:10 ratio at peak time. Last night ~4.5 gbps out, ~45 gbps in. But, I do have local caching of 4 big name cdn cache providers, so that might alter the 1:10 ratio I see on my actual inet links (which do not include th

Josh, That’s great. I’m assuming your traffic is mainly inbound. So, my question is, do you have a threshold that defines your traffic ratio type. I’m taking an example from this thread. Say, your average incoming traffic is ~45 gbps, and outgoing traffic is ~4.5 gbps. So, your outbound:inbound
