i have (3) oca's ... 2 connected at 100g each, and 1 at dual 100g lag... with 
an operational throughput capacity of the nodes being something less than that, 
i forget the exact node(s) throughput specs, but anyway...

about the 11/15/2024 Tyson/Paul Netflix fights....

from 6 - 7 p.m. central time i saw extreme ramp up on my OCA 
utilization...reaching an all-time high
- 15g
- 27g
- 50g
= 92g

at 7:31 p.m. i saw what equated to a ~40g dive, total, across all 3 of my oca 
caches
- 10g
- 17g
- 27g
= 54g

I never saw the utilization ramp up to the same level again after that.  
actually the first one did get back to 16g, but the other 2 never ramped up 
that much again

I was waiting for the main event (Paul/Tyson) to generate an even higher load 
than originally seen at the 7 p.m. but i didn't happen

The aforementioned graph ramp up seen from 6-7 p.m.was a clean scaling graph, 
as you would expect as more and more eyeballs were "tuning in".... After the 
sharp drop at 7:31 p.m. the graphs never really cleaned up after that.  The 
graphs were just down and up.  

- 7:31 p.m. - sharp sag/drop

- 7:51 p.m. - sharp sag/drop

- 8:18 p.m. - sharp sag/drop

- 9:04 p.m. - sharp sag/drop

- 9:53 p.m. - ramp up

- 10:08 p.m. - aggressive ramp down


I wonder if the overall nationwide/worldwide issues affected even my local 
caches.  I figured my local caches would have been "protected" or unaffected by 
issues outside of my network, but I'm not so sure about it

I can say, that we didn't have a ton of customer complaints from our 60k resi 
bb subs, but I did hear about some customer complaints, but I don't think it 
was many

I wonder if there was some sort of adaptive rate changes in the streams, 
altering the overall raw bandwidth utilization I observed, causing the main 
event to not be seen as high of a peak on the graph, or if it was just the 
Netflix was having issues everywhere.  I don't know.
Hopefully Netflix NFL Christmas Day is much better
