i have (3) oca's ... 2 connected at 100g each, and 1 at dual 100g lag... with an operational throughput capacity of the nodes being something less than that, i forget the exact node(s) throughput specs, but anyway...
about the 11/15/2024 Tyson/Paul Netflix fights....
from 6 - 7 p.m. central time i saw extreme ramp up on my OCA utilization...reaching an all-time high
- 15g
- 27g
- 50g
= 92g
at 7:31 p.m. i saw what equated to a ~40g dive, total, across all 3 of my oca caches
- 10g
- 17g
- 27g
= 54g
I never saw the utilization ramp up to the same level again after that. actually the first one did get back to 16g, but the other 2 never ramped up that much again
I was waiting for the main event (Paul/Tyson) to generate an even higher load than originally seen at the 7 p.m. but i didn't happen
The aforementioned graph ramp up seen from 6-7 p.m.was a clean scaling graph, as you would expect as more and more eyeballs were "tuning in".... After the sharp drop at 7:31 p.m. the graphs never really cleaned up after that. The graphs were just down and up.
- 7:31 p.m. - sharp sag/drop
- 7:51 p.m. - sharp sag/drop
- 8:18 p.m. - sharp sag/drop
- 9:04 p.m. - sharp sag/drop
- 9:53 p.m. - ramp up
- 10:08 p.m. - aggressive ramp down
I wonder if the overall nationwide/worldwide issues affected even my local caches. I figured my local caches would have been "protected" or unaffected by issues outside of my network, but I'm not so sure about it
I can say, that we didn't have a ton of customer complaints from our 60k resi bb subs, but I did hear about some customer complaints, but I don't think it was many
I wonder if there was some sort of adaptive rate changes in the streams, altering the overall raw bandwidth utilization I observed, causing the main event to not be seen as high of a peak on the graph, or if it was just the Netflix was having issues everywhere. I don't know.
Hopefully Netflix NFL Christmas Day is much better
