In response to the *smart* comments (not repeated here), the percentages given are of external traffic only. The 2% not accounted for is due to rounding down the results. I suppose I can do it to more decimal places if you really want it. Also we do retain lots of our own traffic, but I felt it was irrevalent for the purposes of this discussion, so retained traffic was not included in the calculations.
