I'd have to assume Facebook is using well over 500TB/mo of outbound traffic. I'd Assume on the order of 1-2Tbps or more on average. Disclamer: I work for AWS.

- kondro 9y agoWell over. 500TB a month is only 250KB per active user.
- kondro 9y agoOh. I see this might've just been a typo. Agree with the 1Tbps+ figure for external bandwidth (and maybe 300%+ on that internally and between regions).
- p0rkbelly 9y ago500TB/mo is nothing for FB or AWS. Hope you don't work with any anything to do with scale at AWS. You're looking more towards 1 Exabyte a month...
- virtuallynathan 9y agoThe author of the article makes the assumption of 500TB/mo in the article. I'd agree, probably more like 1EB+ per mo. I guessed the 1-3Tbps figure, I haven't seen FB publish anything around that.
