On the international slide, I've seen a slide presentation from Deutche Telecom that said that half of all of its traffic stayed in country, which *I'd* label as "local". This is all WAG, tho. I'll argue that you can never measure this accurately from the network (how much traffic did you *not* count?, how much traffic was delivered on campus? is the site multihomed?), you have to measure it from the edge. To really test this you need sampling from the users, ala the Nielson method and knowledge of geography for IP addresses. Market opportunity anyone? -scott

I think that actual experience and hard data will surprise us all. --tep-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
