In 2024, BNIX recorded its biggest peaks since the coronavirus crisis

Internet traffic on BNIX regularly exceeded the 500 gigabits per second mark last year. Peaks as large as that had not been seen since the coronavirus pandemic, when traffic sometimes even exceeded 600 Gbit/s. On Monday 4 November, a total of 520 Gbit/s passed through BNIX, as much as 15 percent higher than the peak of 462 Gbit/s recorded in 2023. Another striking fact is that traffic was higher than normal during the busy summer of sport. What is more, 2024 was characterised by high traffic plateaus in the morning and afternoon during the working week, which is a trend that first arose during the period of the coronavirus pandemic and has continued in the years since then.
