Traffic Trends

Comparing the latest Ipoque's Internet-Study to previous traffic composition published e.g. by Telegeography; I see only a minor difference: P2P is still the king but video traffic has an increasingly dominant portion.

Traffic trends according to A. Oon (Equinix) at Menog :
  • Accelerated growth in broadband services in Asia
  • Major content providers & CDN deployment in Asia: Yahoo, Google, Akamai, Limelight
  • Localized content growth
  • 10G exchange deployments
  • Continued exponential growth in P2P Traffic
  • HD streaming video and VoIP
  • Mass market gaming

Ipoque's Internet Study (2008):
  • P2P generates most traffic in all regions
  • The proportion of P2P traffic has decreased BitTorrent is still number one of all protocols, HTTP second
  • The proportion of eDonkey is much lower than last year
  • File hosting has considerably grown in popularity
  • Streaming is taking over P2P users for video content
  • Usenet, a file sharing alternative for P2P, appears in the statistics for the first time
