Global internet traffic to increase more than fourfold by 2014: Cisco
According to Cisco the global internet traffic will quadruple by 2014. Some highlights,
Improvements in network bandwidth capacity and Internet speeds, along with the increasing popularity of HDTV and 3DTV are key factors expecting to quadruple IP traffic from 2009 to 2014
Global IP traffic is expected to increase more than fourfold (4.3 times) from 2009 to 2014, reaching 63.9 exabytes per month in 2014, up from approximately 56 exabytes per month in 2013
The nearly 64 exabytes of global IP traffic per month projected for 2014 is equivalent to 16 billion DVDs; 21 trillion MP3’s; or 399 quadrillion text messages.
Regional Internet Traffic Trends
By 2014, the highest IP-traffic generating regions will be North America (19.0 exabytes per month), Asia Pacific (17.4 exabytes per month), Western Europe (16.2 exabytes per month) and Japan (4.3 exabytes per month).
The fastest growing IP-traffic regions for the forecast period (2009-2014) are Latin America (51 percent compound annual growth rate [CAGR], 7.9-fold growth), the Middle East and Africa (45 percent CAGR, 6.5-fold growth), and Central Europe (38 percent CAGR, 5.1-fold growth).
By 2014, the sum of all forms of video (TV, VoD, Internet video, and peer-to-peer) will continue to exceed 91 percent of global consumer traffic.
The global online video community will include more than 1 billion users by the end of 2010.
By 2014, it would take more than two years to watch the amount of video that will cross global IP networks every second; to watch all the video crossing the network that year would take 72 million years.
Consumer IP traffic is projected to grow faster than business:
Mobile Broadband
Global mobile data traffic will increase 39 times from 2009 to 2014.
By 2014, annual global mobile data traffic will reach 3.5 exabytes per month (or a run rate of more than 42 exabytes annually).
According to Asia Will Become the New Center of the Internet (and the Press Release), North America will not be the highest source of web traffic. The report talks about the generator of web traffic, i.e. the users. Would be interesting to know what would be their source of information?…
According to a report from Nokia Siemens Network mobile internet traffic has grown by 50% in the first half of 2012. Other important points from the report are, 54% increase in mobile data traffic in India between December 2011 and June 2012. Data traffic generated by 3G services has increased…
