'''According to several people who wish not to be named here, but I know them to have shell access to all servers:'''
#There is no software on the servers installed that produces reports of link transit
#No-one is downloading the daily logs which amount to some 5GB/day
#The wikimedia developers wish to make [[142.177.X.X]] an open invitation to write code to report the link transit data and post the code to some wiki and they will run it.

A '''link transit''' is the clicking of a link from one [[web page]] to another.  It is exactly this which is paid for in most [[link-back]] [[web ad]]vertising schemes.  For instance, a pornography provider wants to know which of several [[search engine]]s has referred people to it, so it can reward that one with additional business or direct payments.
