IX charts are public in Chile by law. Everything looks well except the Telefonica (TIWS) international trunk [1]. It started dropping all traffic at the same time.

TIWS is back online. I'd presume they are draining most traffic to prevent overload according to the public SRE practices. I theorize it should take a few minutes to get everyone back in.

Que bacan weon! Estoy en viña ahorita. Sabes por que Movistar es muy lento com LTE aca?

Are you on prepaid? Virtually all Chilean prepaid carriers are deathly slow, especially outside of Santiago. I had barely any service in Algarrobo on Claro, but postpaid plans ran just fine, especially Claro, even in crazy places like Farellones :)

For what it's worth, I hated every second of my life in vina and that stupid town to the north of it and also Valparaiso. God, bring me back to La Parva or Embalse El Yeso. Some of the most incredible, untouched mystical land there!

I’m currently roaming on a post paid US plan. When I arrived in Chile I had 3G on Claro. Then it switched me to LTE on Movistar. 3G on Claro was more reliable.

Interesting to know about pre vs post paid. Will keep it in mind for longer trips when I normally buy a local SIM.

We just spent the last week in Torres del Paine backpacking around ... what an amazing place! Going to spend a couple days in viña and then headed to Conce to see some old friends. I’ve not been to La Parva but will add it to the list!

Enjoy, my friend! If you have a car, the mountains to the East of Santiago are absolutely awesome. Everything is safe and cool there, nothing worse than Californian tier driving. There's even free wifi at La Parva, and a ski lift to I think 12,000 feet in elevation if you dont want to walk haha.

Enjoy the city! I just had really bad experiences there. It's probably not the norm but I just hate petty thieves and the grime when I'm paying foreigner prices. I was based in Las Condes for 3 months and really loved it.

I think I still have my little $7 claro sim card lying around here somewhere :)))

siempre pillas un chileno en los comentarios

I just see a tiny blip (or 2) on Toronto’s IX, but that’s aggregate, not port by port:

Doesn't really show much of a change right now, nor does the aggregate chart for the SIX in Seattle.

The largest downstream/eyeball networks that take Youtube traffic do it via PNIs with them so you won't see that in an IX fabric traffic chart. For example the Google/Youtube AS exchanges traffic with Comcast directly by their own dedicated ports, no IX involved.

Is this not indicative of the drop of traffic in Australia?

Indeed it's not showing the Youtube issue for the reason you mentioned. Still relevant to the question above :)

there are a number of IXes that publish aggregate traffic charts, updated reasonably frequently, a lot fewer that publish traffic charts for individual ports or peers. If you want granular data you have to know somebody who runs the core BGP stuff for a reasonably sized ISP, and you can ask them for redacted copies of charts.

Here's for Portugal, we need around 85gbps at peak.

A lot of them have stuff like total traffic over time under the statistics link.

Just one I found quickly, the UK results are t interesting but check out LINX NoVA https://portal.linx.net/
