We were slash dotted once... out bandwidth went up 25 times higher then normal that day...

 

fun fun

Max In: 99.9 Mb/s (95.3%) Average In: 754.1 kb/s (0.7%) Current In: 511.0 kb/s (0.5%)
Max Out: 94.3 Mb/s (89.9%) Average Out: 3592.4 kb/s (3.4%) Current Out: 6213.9 kb/s (5.9%)

I'm hosting the images only, bit-tech is doing the html, and I peaked at nearly 94.3Mb/sec so far, just serving those images. Quite heavy load

 

/ dot is peanuts compared to some sites

 

I wonder how much traffic slashdot itself has

 

slashdot traffic

Approximately 30 million page views a month. *Seriously*
Proof

PS - This was written in 6/2000, and Slashdot gets many, many, many more hits now. So I have no clue.

 

Prolly 100 million now.
Heh wow.. kinda much
But it's text only mostly.

 

well, I had never been to /. before this so they weren't expecting me BWAHAHAHAHA....

 

Hrm, I think you got nuked last night. I have just run a report on /. and it's not as popular as you think. I can say that the '30,000,000 views a months' is a BiT far off!

 

Wow, has Bit got an OC3 or faster connection here? Thats gota cost like, £120k/year just for the connection alone.

 

actually..

I was hosting the images on my server (which peaked around 99mbit/s in reality), the server is on gigabit ethernet off an oc192 inside infomart USA in verio's datacenter HQ. 9.6gbit/s, where an oc3 is only 155mbit/s. I am, however, limited by the 1gbit/s transfer capacity of gigabit ethernet I'm not sure how you are running your "calculations", but slashdot easily pushes 30,000,000 page views a month, I suggest they handle even more now.

Cheers,
David

Re: actually..

That is some pretty amazing statistics there... 5.9million unique visitors each month.... could they spare 100000 or so to come visit me
