I wonder if they'd have the necessary data to report traffic in byte-meters instead of bytes? CDNs push a lot of traffic, but not very far.

- supertrope 3y agoIs that even Internet traffic if in-net caches are counted?
- rcme 3y agoYes?
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoI mean, I tend to think it probably should count, but there's a valid argument to be made that it's not really inter-net traffic if it's inside a single (ISP's) network.
- rcme 3y agoI don’t think that definition of traffic would make sense when talking about inter-state highways, for instance, although I wish it would. My commute would be a lot easier!
- em-bee 3y agothe interstate highways of the internet are the exchanges and connections between those. local traffic within an ISP should not hit those exchanges. just like most local traffic should not need to use an interstate highway. one might even be able to say that if you need to use an interstate, your commute is not really local anymore. actually, i think one could even argue that if a significant amount of local traffic goes over an interstate then the street system is designed wrong (although i admit, i fear that this is quite common). it's like letting a local commuter train use a high-speed rail track. it happens, but it shouldn't.
