Which one:

  With about 1/3 of all global internet passing through that parking

This one?

garage out there, 20% loss starts to take on a whole new meaning...

Or this one? :slight_smile:

This one.

Seems waaay too high. I don't think 1/3 all global Internet traffic passes
through _all_ of public exchanges, let alone one exchange.

A talk I heard a few months ago said that 85% of the statistics shown in
presentations were just guesses or made up. Probably the same is for
email postings.

Seems waaay too high. I don't think 1/3 all global Internet traffic passes
through _all_ of public exchanges, let alone one exchange.

If we're talking about WAN traffic (not all IP traffic), then
my estimate is about 70% going through an exchange point.

Given MAE-East's central location, 33% seems to be not that far
off the mark (definitely not orders of magnitude). 10% maybe.

As one of the few people who has actually gathered some
  statistics about the net, change that to "just guesses,
  made up, or real numbers drastically misinterpreted" and
  I'll agree 100%. *grin*
