Is there any way we can use the amount of U/Akamai traffic being pointed at MICE as an incentive for Akamai to come to MICE themselves?

The University will work with Akamai to get more servers over the summer, but I would hope we would have everyone moved over to the juniper switches long before that happens. > > On 5/19/11 09:56 CDT, David Farmer wrote: >> It looks like Akamai has found a sweet spot they tend to do that, the >> link between the switches peaked up to about 850 and backed off and is >> hovering abut 650Mbps for the last hour or so.
