[afnog] AMS-IX concerns

[Adam Nelson]

Frank,

JTL is totally hosed right now but this was happening yesterday too.

Unfortunately, there aren't daily charts farther back that I can see.

I understand the manual thing but this chart shows, suspiciously, that the
throughput gets up to about 1Gbps and then drops dramatically - then gets
back up there, and drops again.  That seems like routing around a throttled
connection or something automatic.
