Since it only services reads, there is no in-traffic, only out-traffic. Since 2016-03-06, I've observed a modest total of 12.2 GB of data transferred, of which 10.8 GB came from cache misses. The cache misses are likely due to the fact that I'm the only one currently using it. Most of the time, daily traffic is quite low. Sometimes, it spikes to about 3-4 GB in a single day. That probably corresponds to times when I installed or upgraded GuixSD. -- Chris
