It seems intuitively reasonable to me that 1.85% of Exodus input comes from BBN.
No arguments there. I would like to know where the "By all accounts, we estimate
to be in the area of 10-30% of their traffic." sentence comes from. Are you suggesting
that 10-30% of BBN's total output goes to Exodus? Or that 10-30% of Exodus output
goes to BBN?
The first scenario is ridiculous. The second scenario is possible, but I would suspect
it is closer to 10% than 30%.
