We’ve added 476892 kitten pictures per second of capacity.

We’ve brought up some new connectivity today; we’ve added a new 10Gbps transit link out of our Sovereign House data centre. This gives not only more capacity but also some improved DDoS protection options with distance-based blackholing.

We also added a 1Gbps private peering connection to IDNet. We’ve used IDNet for ADSL connections for a long time, not least for their native IPv6 support. A quick inspection shows 17% of traffic over this private link as native IPv6.
