ccording to Cisco,
the ‘annual global
IP traffic will pass
the zettabyte ([ZB];
1,000 exabytes [EB])
threshold by the end of 2016, and
will reach 2.3ZB per year by 2020.
By the end of 2016, global IP traffic
will reach 1.1ZB per year, or 88.7EB
per month, and by 2020 global IP
30
traffic will reach 2.3ZB per year, or
194EB per month.’ The company’s
Visual Networking Index also claims
the following:
It would take more than five million
years to watch the amount of video
that will cross global IP networks
each month in 2020. Every second,
a million minutes of video content
will cross the network by 2020.
lobally, IP video traffic will be
G
82 per cent of all IP traffic (both
business and consumer) by 2020,
up from 70 per cent in 2015.
Global IP video traffic will grow
threefold from 2015 to 2020, a
CAGR of 26 per cent. Internet
video traffic will grow four-fold
from 2015 to 2020, a CAGR of
31 per cent.
