Faster networks and more video also are factoring in the trend that will see traffic quadruple by 2016, Cisco says in its new Visual Networking Index Forecast.
Internet traffic, fueled in large part by the rapid rise in the number of mobile devices and Internet users, will quadruple by 2016, according to networking giant Cisco Systems.
In the latest release of its Visual Networking Index Forecast, which runs from 2011 to 2016, Cisco officials are predicting that in 2016 alone, Internet traffic will be 1.3 zettabytes, eclipsing the 1.2 zettabytes of data that ran across global networks in all the “Internet years” of 1984 to 2012. A zettabyte is 1 followed by 21 zeros; according to Cisco, 1.3ZB is 10 times more than the 121 exabytes of IP traffic created in 2008, or is equal to 38 million DVDs running on networks every hour.
The expected increase in global Internet traffic between 2015 and 2016 itself will be more than 330EB, which is almost equal to the total amount of traffic—369EB—generated in 2011. Read More
