1 edit | I am not surprised....
This man has changed the game regarding how all presidential elections are ran going forward and the internet will play a huge part in it.
On another note, I have a feeling that this will only inspire more companies to move towards metered billing. I wouldn't be surprised if it begins to hit business and enterprise accounts.

i think the Websense server where i work crashed yesterday, because the CNN stream window the FB section went from blocked to refresing the comments at the time the usage peaked.

I work for a school district as a network admin, and our 40mbps pipe slowed to a crawl around lunch time. A quick glance at Packeteer showed the culprit...CNN streaming.  |

Re: Count Us In
The thing is, we offer local multicast streaming through the use of transcoders...so the folks could have just logged in and watched a multicast stream of CNN with no impact on our WAN bandwidth.  |

| I was there, complete chaos
No internet service in DC after 8am on alltel. From 10am until around 4pm my calls were either dropped, or was given the network is busy message. Only three metro stations were open to control the 2 million people. I had a 5:30 flight, got in line at around 1:30, by 3:00 the metro authorities had lost all control, and by 4:30 I miraculously made it to national airport from the waterfront station. Cab service was backed up and non existant, and one of the bridges leading to the airport was closed to traffic so pedestrians could walk the five miles to the airport. DC police was almost non existant after 10am. And people started storming the fences around the national mall to get into the inauguration. Complete anarchy but it was a great time, and everything worked out. |

Re: I am not surprised....
What about meg specials. This month, get 100MB so you can stream one news video online!! Act now, as others only get a 25MB cap. Want GB's, well those will cost you an arm and a leg. Amazing, how the price of bandwidth has gone down, but what we pay, continues to rise. It'd be like taking a car from 1995 and appreciating it based on the cost of making it from then to now. 11,000 car in 1995 now should sell for probably 15,000. The components would be much less to make all these years later, if redone. Yet, why not boost the price. It makes perfect nonsense, errr sense, right? |

Its internet terrorism
what the schools should have done is block cnn.com for the day
it may be a bit harsh but theres work to do so you can't just let a 40m line get packed |

I think he's referring to the very first sentence (bold highlighting mine):
said by DSLR article :
We've frequently discussed and debunked the "exaflood," a term coined by the same think tank that brought you intelligent design, created in part to justify a shift to metered billing and decreased regulation in the sector

We have no TVs left. Everything is IP-based now...projectors are in each classroom, so if the teachers wish to show something, they join the stream and pop it up on the projector. |

1 edit |  So Karl admits an exaflood is possible - crippling ISPs
So it is nice to see Karl admit that an exaflood and slowdowns are possible with the growth of streaming video. Yesterday proved it.
quote:
traffic spiked by more than 60% in most providers and by 400% in a few of the larger cable operators. The company says that the infrastructure of at least two unnamed ISPs couldn't handle the strain -- showing clear failures and traffic drops during the traffic peaks.

| Multicasting is great for closed lab environments with limited bandwidth. It doesn't tend to scale so well when you route it across multiple networks. (remember, not everyone on the internet is going to be watching every live stream at the same time. So with multicasting you broadcast tons of data to places its not needed)
