Super busy night of streaming for the BBC yesterday - but that wasn't *quite* as busy as Tuesday (ITV broadcast the England match yesterday).
I can't give the streaming numbers but we hit just under 1 million log lines per second on my logging system - which only handles a subset of the media streaming logs.
I wonder how busy the first England match we broadcast will be?
Turns out a load of people in the UK set their alarm for 07:00 - closely followed by 07:17 then 08:11 (which is a good deal higher than 08:00).
These are the RPS stats for the BBC service which (re)validates authentication sessions.
You can also clearly see a spike around 09:30 when, presumably, people have looked through email and check the news. Then there's the spike for the 13:00 news/lunch break.
We're all creatures of habit, it's the same *every* day.
83% of requests (globally) to our apex homepages (bbc.co.uk/ and bbc.com/) are from "Python Requests".
That's 84 million requests per day.
In the words of Bricktop...
We monitor how much traffic we get from each country per day to check errors/blocking etc. (as I've previously mentioned).
Big drop-off recently from Angola & as usual it's an ISP (TV Cabo) changing their "is the internet working" config.
That prompted me to (again) look at how much we're serving to Fortigate "is the internet working" checks per month, roughly:
- 109 million web pages
- 10 Terabytes of egress
What a waste.
Make `head` requests rather than `get`, please!
Wow, as reported elsewhere, traffic from Iran to www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com has dropped to virtually nothing as of yesterday.
Only 3 ASNs have made any requests at all today:
- iran information technology company pjsc
- netiface limited
- m247 europe srl (unsure if this is *really* in Iran or not)
We'd normally see about 200k requests/day from Iran and today we've had just over 600.

~51,000 T-Mobile USA IP addresses make a total of 13 million requests to https://bbc.com/ using `python-requests`.
Being on the internet is fun.
3% of requests to www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com have a `user-agent` of OKHttp.
Part of that 3% is a single IP in Turkey which is making nearly 3 million request per day using OKHttp on it's own.
Being on the internet is fun.

We had requests from 136 countries all-in.
Didn't watch any of it myself but folks seemed to enjoy it - was definitely a big chunk of traffic.
