[AusNOG] census issues tonight

[Glenn Hocking]

Maybe another question should be do any of us here think we have infrastructure that would handle 
the whole of Australia to connect and use in one evening, possibly 30% to 60% in the same hour or so?

If so then we already have great Internet infrastructure here in Australia and therefore other 
discussions regarding investment such as NBN etc. are not correct? OK I spose this does not really 
cover video streaming, but Australia has how many people that all tried to connect last night, most 
likely all on there own device form home?

I spose it could be done via distribution of the serves in each state/city/town. And using Anycast 
routing?

Could it be done? Can your network/Infrastructure do it? Was it done?
Then there are the Application and database servers and security issues which are another story 
again....

It think it was great that it was tried, but it seems the wrong design was created and used. What 
would work?

Cheers
