Global Internet traffic to Quadruple by 2015: Cisco |
|
|
The fifth annual Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) Forecast (2010-2015) has predicted that the number of network-connected devices surpass 15 billion, twice the world's population, by 2015. Cisco also said that the total amount of global Internet traffic will quadruple by 2015 and reach 966 exabytes per year, growing 200 exabytes between 2014 and 2015 alone, which is greater than the total amount of Internet Protocol traffic generated globally in 2010. On the verge of hitting the 1 zettabyte mark, or sextillion bytes or a trillion gigabytes (GB) by 2015, global IP traffic growth is driven by four primary factors according to Cisco, including:
Amongst other predictions, Cisco said global mobile Internet data traffic would increase 26 times from 2010 to 2015, to 6.3 exabytes per month (or 75 exabytes annually). However, global peer-to-peer traffic will show a declining trend, accounting for a mere 16 percent of global consumer Internet traffic, down from 40 percent in 2010. Business IP video conferencing, on the other hand, is projected to grow sixfold over the forecast period of 2010-2015, growing more than two times as fast as overall business IP traffic, at a CAGR of 41 percent from 2010 to 2015. |
