i feel TM don't have much balancing on their international gateway
TM depend too much on HE.net IP transit at 65% rate @ mostly is 100Gbps port
-SG
-HKG
-JP
-SAN JOSE,USA
-MARSEILLE
less favoured IP-transit that TM using 35% rate @ either 10Gbps port and 40Gbps
Cogent - HKG , MARSEILLE
Telia - LAX . MARSEILLE
CW - HKG , MARSEILLE
NTT - HKG
TATA - exchange traffic
PCCW - HKG
Telstra - exchange traffic
I can comment on PCCW, PCCW always break during Taobao big sale, when lot of Malaysian are browsing Taobao.
I think which is why they putting less rate on it.
PCCW HKG not just for Aliyun(Taobao), it also used for Tencent server, which is responsible for WeChat and QQ services, as Tencent moved the traffic to SG server like 1-2 month ago, so traffic to PCCW had become less issues, or I can say, stable now.
Last year at this time, Taobao will be unable to use after 12 PM, QQ also will be kicking the user out because of unstable connection, you need to reroute the group chat picture to China mainland server or it will be sharing same HK server as chat, which causing disconnect of QQ because too much traffic on it.
Using TCP connect method can avoid disconnect, but once you are kicked out and wanna login at night, well, you are dead.
Today, I can get stable Taobao service that connect to HK CDN server, and still laggy on China Mainland, also no issues on QQ anymore.
But Tencent SG are using Singtel la, so might not related to this laggy issues.
I think you are sawing less traffic on PCCW HKG is because, Tencent moved their oversea users to SG server, which including Malaysian la.
So yes, if they trying to put more rate on PCCW HKG, it will break, again, which revert the HK connection back to before Tencent SG is online.
PS: I am not tech enough, so I just saying what I saw and understanding la.
