With 35 medals at stake, the last full day of competition during the games in Tokyo generated the highest video streaming traffic for 30-plus customers on the Akamai Intelligent Edge Platform. Medal matches for baseball, basketball, and soccer, along with several track and field finals, drove related traffic to 10 Tbps on Saturday, August 7. That's more than double the 4.5 Tbps peak Akamai observed during the games in Rio in 2016. Average peak traffic for the full event in Tokyo was 8.3 Tbps compared with 3 Tbps for the full event in Rio. In total, Akamai streamed 500 million hours of video from Tokyo for our customers. That's more than double the 234 million hours of video delivered from Rio. \n Just last month, we  shared streaming figures  from the European soccer tournament held in June and July, which hit a traffic peak of 35 Tbps on Akamai and averaged 17.5 Tbps across every match. Why the difference in peak traffic compared with the 10 Tbps high and 8.3 Tbps average from Tokyo?…
