This is the weekly summary of USENET throughput by day at exnet2, a
public-access site in London, England.

The aim of this summary is to show the different flows on different
days of the week.  This should help news admins make space in their
spool directories for worst-case flows.

This site does not get a full feed.  We concentrate on the technical
hierarchies (comp and sci), our regional ones (uk and eunet) and a few
others (such as gnu).

What you see below is a listing of flows on each day of the preceeding
week(s) both by number of articles and by volume (bytes).

The long-term (lt) averages are smoothed with the function:
    new_lt_value = (new_value + old_lt_value * 15) / 16.

A side-effect of the bandwidth of the link to the news server and the
way the stats are collected is a `smearing' of heavy data flows from
one day into the next.  So peaks may be even higher than shown.
