[Khansa.Abdalla]

Salam mugahed ;

It's ok .. and thanks for below link :)

It's interesting to see the cause of increased traffic I mean the traffic type ... weather it is streaming (like Netflix example in the link ) , E-learning ,... etc

hi khansa,

gael at pch wrote something to that effect here:

..that’s largely from a european perspective, which i think, matches
what you were looking for.

from an african perspective, we’ve seen daytime traffic peaks go up at
INX, in south africa, as more people embrace work from home.
universities and schools are also closed, so, it’s reasonable to
assume that more people are online during the day from home.  there are
many people worried about network capacity, but frankly, that’s less
of a concern for me;  the daytime network traffic peaks are still
smaller than night-time use (more people streaming) and most end-user
networks were scoped to build for _that_  (ie. nighttime streaming).
unfortunately, while some operators have made good announcements like
doubling of data bundles, additional capacity etc, i haven’t heard
anything from our local ISPs yet  :-(

it will be interesting if some of the sudanese operators could share too
  :-)
i tried to look for sixp stats online, but could not find this  :-(
