Since taking on a BGP routed /24 several weeks ago I've occasionally
watched my gateway firewall logs in realtime to get a sense of how much
traffic I get from the Internet at large for my little section of the
AMPRNet.
I get an average of 2.7 packets a second in random scanning traffic.
Scaling this up to the /8 that comprises AMPRNet, I surmise that the UCSD
gateway must get something like 176k packets a second. Assuming an average
SYN packet of 20 bytes, this is something like 283 gigabytes per day.
Is that about right, Brian?
