Some statistics

The Gathering is over for now, and we have analyzed some of the numbers and statistics from our internet router. During The Gathering 2009 we sent and received 329 000 GB of data (that’s 329 TB). Out of these 329TB, 2.227TB (or a whooping 0.67%) was IPv6! It may not sound like much, but it is certainly a significant amount. We estimate that somewhere around 47% of all the computers at the party had working IPv6 installed, so the amount of IPv6-traffic could be doubled if the IPv6-support for windows XP was as good as it is for Linux, Mac OS and Windows Vista.

A big thanks goes out to BaneTele and Ventelo for delivering the internet connection to The Gathering 2009!

    Det hadde vært gøy å sett om 10 Gbit hadde blitt makset ut av hallen.

    Internett linja blir nokk mye lettere makset når alle får seg 1 Gbit på plassen sin ;)

    Veldig bra levert nett, og ikke minst stabilt. Men skader ikke med enda høyere capacity, da det til tider (overraskende ofte faktisk) var lite linje på hver ;) Mer hjemme faktisk (17mbit).

    The incoming IPv6 data doesn’t look right, according to the data in there it had a whooping 0.8 Byte/s on average. Since according to Netflow our university alone sent about 50 GByte of IPv6 traffic to that netblock there must be an error somewhere.

  5. Bernhard: The graph is _aggregated_ in+out. It’s probably done this way because it’s calculated from a machine on a mirror port, where both sides of the link was mirrored into the port.

    Jeg har store problemer med å godta IPv6 address policy. Det er en tikkende bombe tror jeg, og definitivt ikke i scenes favør.

    Occi-: På TG klarte jeg jo lett å få mye høyere hastigheter. Gikk fint opp til 90Mbit/s på speedtest.net.
    Da vi maxet ut linjen så klarte jeg å få fantastiske 1.5Mbit/s på speedtest.net.
