I don't think this is good number - as there were
around 9000 requests-a-second handled by a separate server (That is not included in
request stats).
Also the increase in bandwidth could be because were blacklisted some requests, and they
could've been receiving much larger "access denied" wikimedia error page.
Still, it was a fun day.
Someone should write this up for the techblog, or the main WMF blog.
