Does communication between Linodes in different locations count towards the monthly transfer limit?
Just wondering if sending data between my NYC and London Linodes will count towards my monthly transfer cap. If so is there anything that can be done to prevent that?

In the above example, the traffic leaves one data center and travels to another. As such, this would be considered metered outbound network transfer. Though, the inbound transfer on the receiving end is non-metered. The below quote is for metered network transfer:
Outbound transfer sent from Compute Instances and NodeBalancers to destinations outside of the origin data center (over both IPv6 and IPv4) and within the same data center if a public IPv4 address is used.
