The amount of transit necessary for cache fill is more the USI was told 
and is causing some congestion for them.

We are proposing to Akamai and UMN supplements the inbound transit for 
cache fill of the node.

This is the cause of the outage, not the cause of the initial problem 
that most people weren't aware of.

There isn't a cap but there was congestion.

We are talking to Akamai about the issue.

Over the summer we were averaging 800Mb to 1Gb of combine cache fill and 
TCP ACK traffic, and serving a total of 2 to 2.5G of content out of our 
node to both MICE and GigaPOP participants.

At peak the two nodes seem to be serving 2.5 to 3G, but I'm not really 
confident of those number because we really haven't got everything 
settled in yet, I'd like to see a week or two of sustained numbers 
before I believe we've settled in.
