In June 2006
- Globally on my webserver, there were 3247966 hits, 55.3 GB of traffic, with average of 4511 hits per hour.
1.78M hits in the name of
Mozilla, 1.11M in the name of MSIE.
Total unique sites: 170848
In June 10th, there was a traffic spike caused by an front-page article at
Digg.
The ADSL router actually crashed very soon after the initial spike, and the site was inaccessible for several hours.
In June 26th, I reconfigured the modem and disabled its internal NAT mechanism, and made my server a NAT router. More about this in
this post. Hopefully, the modem stands against traffic better now that it doesn't need to track connections. It could just route each packet without thinking.
Interestingly, the traffic spike caused by Digg (and its ripple effects that are still seen today) only seemed to affect the "total unique sites" count; the traffic amount was approximately the same as in May.
Total hits were increased by 7%, kbytes were increased by 0.5% and total unique sites were increased by 50%.
