According to the annual Cisco Visual Networking Index Forecast, by 2014 the volume of Internet traffic will grow four times from the current rate, and video will play a major role in this growth. The forecast also states that over the next 5 years, video traffic (in all its formats) will account for more than 90% of global traffic. "I wouldn't say that peering traffic is declining, it's just that it's not growing at the same rate anymore and it's already starting to outpace video streaming. Part of this can be explained by the fact that streaming video has become much more accessible to end users, in addition streaming video has become the standard for many business communications systems and many commercial services," said Doug Webster, senior director of marketing at Cisco Systems.
According to the report, by 2014, the volume of traffic France Phone Number transmitted on the Internet per year will grow by 400% and reach 767 exabytes. Cisco says that a similar report was published within the company a couple of months ago, but in its working version, the volume was 100 exabytes smaller. The next few months showed the need to revise the forecast in a larger direction. Cisco notes that 767 exabytes of data is exactly 10 times more than was transmitted on the Internet in all of 2008. The report says that in 2014, global traffic will be approximately 64 exabytes per month. To visualize this number in practice, the company provides several comparisons. 64 exabytes is 16 billion DVDs, 21 trillion MP3 records or 399 quadrillion SMS messages. Overall, by 2014, video will account for 91% of global traffic.
If all the videos transmitted in a year could be viewed one by one, it would take a potential viewer 72 million hours. Experts note that the popularity of video in the network will affect the growth of the number of broadband Internet channels among users. If users have quality channels, the development of HD video or even HD 3D video in the network will also have a serious economic basis. Cisco says that over the past 10 years, the average speed of connecting users to the Internet has increased 35 times. If in 2000 a 128 Kbit/s dedicated line was considered quite a good option, now the average bandwidth of the Internet channel has increased to 4.4 Mbit/s. In addition to higher-quality Internet channels, users themselves began to download much more videos, including HD videos.
