<the 100 day double thread>

Frank-- ESnet is a closed internet but its basic characteristics are very similar to the large ISPs that we discuss. Because this is gummit supported, you can see the traffic growth statistics. NASA
and its internets are similar-- I'll dig and find those stats.
These gummit nets peer with all the ISPs and exchange traffic with them in peering relationships just like all the ISPs do. Just another
ISP-like net with traffic characteristics that are very similar.

True, you never laid down any rules about the 100 day double-- you just stated you seriously doubted it. That is fine, and I attempt to
provide info to the contrary. As said earlier, every single ISP shows
traffic growth rates that fall in this category, and some, the newer
ones, demo traffic growth faster than this. These ISP share their
inner workings with trusted business partners and that includes
traffic growth as they scramble to provide the infrastructure to support that growth. Their business partners do the same to provide
the requisite products to allow them to succeed. All ISPs show
traffic growth at this time which approximately doubles every 100 days. !!

Of course, these growth rates cannot continue forever--there are only
so many people on the planet and each can only use so much bandwidth.
Currently, the number of people that use it is growing, the uses for it are expanding, the number of network intelligent boxes is increasing. As a result, the traffic grows--doubles every 100 days or so. I believe the financial community knows this.
