@Crowsnestbb Not yet! We’re working on getting some caches new caches if we can. We did turn up @Quad9DNS recently!

@pit_ix 👀👀 any new CDNs peering?

We’re still out here quietly peering! This week we started phase 1 of a total IX infrastructure rebuild project. But first, we had to get some 400G ports online for a peer! Stay tuned for some major upgrades and expanded capacity! #ipx #keeptrafficlocal #400g

. @Cloudflare has upgraded to 100G at PIT-IX. #keeptrafficlocal #ixp

Hurricane Electric @henet has upgraded to 2x100G at PIT-IX. #keeptrafficlocal #ixp

@Crowsnestbb @DQE_Comm How are some of the speed tests looking for servers that are available over the IX? I think the current record we know of is ~40gbps! 😎

@pit_ix Over here at @Crowsnestbb we are very very excited to finally be peering with you guys! Thanks to @DQE_Comm for the 100gb transport from Altoona to the IX! #keeptrafficlocal

Where should we build our next data center? 🤔

Armstrong Cable (AS27364) has expanded to 400gbps, they peer with the route servers. #keeptrafficlocal #ixp #400g #peering

Santa and his elves didn’t preload the content this year. PIT-IX hit our usual prime-time peak traffic levels early on Christmas morning. #xbox #PlayStation #keeptrafficlocal #ixp

@nguillam @thking @knownbill @flavioluciani81 The updates are handled differently per platform. Xbox and Playstaion will use their respective CDNs (or caches!) PC will use whatever CDN strategy Epic Games uses themselves. That’s why you’re seeing such a huge spread.

@knownbill @thking @flavioluciani81 MultiCDN strategy ...

Some more information about today's Fortnite update. Here are traffic graphs of some of the European #IXPs, the list is not exhaustive.

. @Akamai has upgraded to 400G at PIT-IX. They peer with the route servers. #400g #keeptrafficlocal #ixp #CDN

Welcome @DQE_Comm AS33154 to the Pittsburgh Internet Exchange. They connect at 10G and peer with the route servers. #keeptrafficlocal #keeppacketslocal #internet #ixp #peering

Let’s get ready to… peer? Football is back in full force this season and helped PIT-IX get the first down on 300G+. 🏈📺#keepfootballlocal #inflategraphgate #keeptrafficlocal #ixp

@as42184 Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday is usually our traffic source that stands out.

Tuesday night is internet night as it seems. In our #AS42184 we observe new traffic peaks mostly on Tuesday nights, even today. What is it about these nights, even when there is no football streaming or big online event? Can other networks observe the same behavior?

PIT-IX has enabled a caching server from Microsoft (AS8075). If you’re on the IX or near Pittsburgh, your Windows and Xbox content may come from us! The cache server is ~60gbps and on the route servers. #keeptrafficlocal #cdn #edge #xbox #Windows

Consolidated Communications @CCI4Biz @MyCCITweets AS13333 has upgraded to 1x100G links to PIT-IX. #keeptrafficlocal #ixp #peering
