See attached graphs.

The theme would be that while the number of users is high (for 
that matter the highest these two buildings have ever seen), the 
bandwidth per user is much lower than our typical userbase.

I would guess this is related to the average monger's penchant
for the cli.  Or unlike our students, perhaps the conference attendees 
were actually paying attention to the presenters.  :-)

For future yapc planning purposes, the conference[*] should fit great
in a 100Mbit/sec connection.  Maybe it could just squeeze into a 
dedicated ds3 with a decently configured traffic shaper. 

Of course, UW-Madison has ~30Gbit/sec of capacity available (and
the pyle center connects to the campus at 10G) so it was easy for us 
to host the conference.

[*] I'm not counting the bandwidth used by streaming video for 
remote users.  Presumably our friends at UWEX would have that data.
