Traffic Soars as new Content Provider Joins the Network

Earlier this month, we welcomed Steam to the network, and from day one, the peak kept growing, pushing our network to reach a new traffic record of 901Gbps on Wednesday 11 May. The latest addition of Steam caches means that with 440Gbps of caching capacity between Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth, our gamers can enjoy increased speeds when downloading new games or updating an old favourite.  

Steam caches are opt-in by default, and if you would like to opt-out of these caches, you may do so by using the following communities:  

• 10084:2508 WA STM Opt Out  
• 10084:2518 VIC STM Opt Out  
• 10084:2528 QLD STM Opt Out 

If you require any assistance to opt-out, please do not hesitate to contact one of our friendly team members at peering@ix.asn.au
