During the 2020 pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, many countriesimplemented stay-at-home measures, which led to many businesses and schoolsmoving from in-person to online mode of operation. We analyze sampled Netflowrecords at a medium-sized US Regional Optical Network to quantify the changesin the network traffic due to stay-at-home measures in that region. We findthat human-driven traffic in the network decreases to around 70%, and mostlyshifts to local ISPs, while VPN and online meeting traffic increases up to 5times. We also find that networks adopt a variety of online meeting solutionsand favor one but continue using a few others. We find that educational andgovernment institutions experience large traffic changes, but aim to keep theirproductivity via increased online meetings. Some scientific traffic alsoreduces possibly leading to loss of research productivity. Businesses mostlylose their traffic and few show VPN or online meeting activity. Most networkprefixes experience large loss of live addresses but a handful increase theirliveness. We also find increased incidence of network attacks. Our findings canhelp plan network provisioning and management to prepare for future possibleinfection outbreaks and natural disasters.
