Greetings!

The Tiger Effect

Internet Providers usually spend their time worrying about threats from
hackers, link failures, and router configuration errors. Yesterday,
though, many of them were worried about Tigers…
...
It turns out that the U.S. Open played at Torrey Pines yesterday
generated one of the larger Internet-wide flash crowds this
year. Traffic dipped and peaked corresponding to Tiger’s initial
misses and subsequent spectacular comeback as millions
of office bound fans tuned in to the live NBC and ESPN coverage.

Check the graphic.

Heh that's funny. I think IPv6 is supposed to help the routing so I keep wondering when that'll be adopted.
