•   Great Collaboration between Euro-IX & RIPE NCC
•   Euro-IX asked for IXP volunteers to provide data
•   15 Euro-IX Member IXP participated
•   Observed some interesting patterns during
     football matches




                                                       9
Five Articles during Matches

•   After first round of group matches
•   At the end of the group stages
•   After quarter finals
•   Final conclusions after Euro 2012




                                        10
Typical Patterns during Match (1)
•   Double dip during first and second half
     -   GIGAPIX: Portugal vs Netherlands




                                             11

                                             12
Typical Patterns during Match (3)
  - Double bump (traffic Increase of around 90%)
  - Samara-IX (Russia): Spain v Croatia and Ireland v Italy




                                                              13
Typical Patterns during Match (4)
  - INEX (Dublin): Ireland vs Italy
  - Irelands last match of series

  - This was record peak traffic at INEX (34 Gbps)




                                                    14
Other interesting Patterns
•   Semi-final Spain-Portugal with penalties
     -   Triple dip at GIGAPIX (Portugal) [Spain won]




                                                        15
16
Olympic Games 2012
•   Expected different patterns due to different
      spread of events during Olympics
•   More difficult to identify typical pattern
•   Events took place both during office hours and
      in the evenings
•   We could correlate certain patterns in traffic with
     certain popular sport events during Olympics



                                                         17
Olympic Games 2012
•   We took multiple samples of weekly snapshots
     of the IXP traffic patterns
•   On the same day of the week both one and two
     weeks before the event took place
•   On the same day of the week both one and two
     weeks after the event




                                                   18
Popular events out of office hours
•   Opening ceremony in evening (Red line) LONAP




                                                   19
Popular events during office hours
•   Heptathlon, cycling, tennis in the UK (Green line)
•   LONAP (London) Friday during office hours




                                                         20
Popular Event in a Country
•   Boxing in Ireland - INEX (Dublin) office hours

                    Darren O’Neill




                                                    21
Popular Event in a Country
•   Boxing in Ireland - INEX (office hours)



                      Katie Taylor




                                             22
Other events in 2012
•   France-IX (Paris)
    - French Open at Roland Garros
    - Men’s Sunday Final was rained-out
    - Forced to play on Monday (35 Gbps increase)




                                                    23
Main Conclusions
•   Great collaboration & participation
     - by Euro-IX IXPs
     - by RIPE Labs participants

•   Major sporting events seem to be having a
     greater impact on IXP traffic volumes
•   Discovered typical pattern for football matches
•   Despite big peaks at times, Internet can cope
•   Good exercise for other major events
     -   Can we find patterns for certain events?

                                                      24
Thanks to the IXPs that took part!

Olympic Games 2012 • Expected different patterns due to different spread of events during Olympics • More difficult to identify typical pattern • Events took place both during office hours and in the evenings • We could correlate certain patterns in traffic with certain popular sport events during Olympics 17
  • 18. Olympic Games 2012 • We took multiple samples of weekly snapshots of the IXP traffic patterns • On the same day of the week both one and two weeks before the event took place • On the same day of the week both one and two weeks after the event 18
  • 19. Popular events out of office hours • Opening ceremony in evening (Red line) LONAP 19
  • 20. Popular events during office hours • Heptathlon, cycling, tennis in the UK (Green line) • LONAP (London) Friday during office hours 20

  • 24. Main Conclusions • Great collaboration & participation - by Euro-IX IXPs - by RIPE Labs participants • Major sporting events seem to be having a greater impact on IXP traffic volumes • Discovered typical pattern for football matches • Despite big peaks at times, Internet can cope • Good exercise for other major events - Can we find patterns for certain events? 24
