Internet Traffic Report, while a nice concept, is unfortunately very misleading. Their sample size is extremely small, and most of those are permanently down.

Internet Traffic Report, while a nice concept, is unfortunately very misleading.
Their sample size is extremely small, and most of those are permanently down.
Have a look through their list of north american routers and find one of them where packet loss has gotten worse as their main overall graph for packet loss would suggest - I've just been through them all and couldn't find one.
- obituary_latte 14y agoAgreed. I was surprised to see only one[1] of the "down" routers with any packet loss over the last 24 hours. That said, it's still interesting how the overall traffic trends so sharply downwards. I wonder if they have more data than they are showing in the graphs.

- jre 14y agoIt seems like the individual router graphs most recent update is 10/26 00:00 whereas the overall graph has been updated at 10/26 08:30.
- calinet6 14y agoTheir baseline values are very misleading. But their relative metrics can still be useful. For example, it's very inaccurate to say that 51% of the internet is down. But it's precise to say that packet loss among the working nodes has increased about 30% in the last 24 hours, and sharply.
- EwanToo 14y agoBut that's likely 2 or 3 nodes, not a meaningful sample
