Prolly not as much as a 500 Gbps spike but worth getting prepped for with a big event coming up on the other side of the planet.

Gonna have to put a hose clamp on the fiber to choke off Limelight and Akami traffic. Either that, or figure out how to shock end-users through the mouse and get them back to work. Our traffic graphs on the day look just like the ones referenced above, and all of our excess traffic at the time was flash from Limelight. Golf-watchers maxed out our OC3 internet link.

If this is just Tiger, why so much darknet traffic at the same time? We saw a large spike of traffic to Limelight streaming media, but not until the next day.
