Re: ESPN worldcup streaming traffic

[Hugo Slabbert <hslabbert () stargate ca>]

The Argentina semi-final on Thursday had us at about 300% of our regular 
daytime peaks; other preceding games were closer to about 200%.  We don't have 
any residential connections, just business, so today's (weekend) game didn't 
really register much.

In terms of other streamed events:  The men's hockey final in the Winter 
Olympics beat this pretty soundly for our stats, at about 500% of regular 
daytime peaks...but then again, we have a Canadian market after all!  The 
streaming in both cases was through CBC via Akamai, coming in over a 
combination of Akamai peering and caches.
