This document discusses internet exchange point (IXP) traffic patterns observed during several major sporting events in 2010 and 2012. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup, IXP traffic dropped noticeably during televised matches. The 2012 Euro Championships saw characteristic double peaks in traffic during matches. The 2012 Olympic Games showed correlations between certain events and traffic but patterns were more difficult to identify due to the spread of events. Overall, major sporting events appear to have a greater impact on increasing IXP traffic volumes. The collaboration between IXPs provided insights into typical traffic patterns during such events.
