I did want to note one thing about these big ASes... sure, they may be big ASes, but they are still lacking in one major area - Exits.

OVH has almost 4.5 Gbit/s of relay bandwidth available within the AS. However, if you search for exits, that rapidly drops to just under 750 mbit/s.

I'm more than positive all of the other big ASes are the same way.

A little off topic, but it just amazes me how much exit capacity these sites actually have, but people aren't willing to sign up for services whose TOS permits running an exit (or can't afford it), so they run a relay at an overly saturated site.

Thanks,

Conrad

that is a very generic and short description
