| What a load of Bull Crap, I believe Ellacoya over them!! :) »HTTP Overtakes P2P Traffic
I quote the front page stor of BBR:
HTTP Overtakes P2P Traffic
And YouTube use is 10% of all Internet traffic

Contrary to recent claims by NBC Universal, Ellacoya examined the Internet usage data of one million North American broadband users and notes that HTTP traffic has once again overtaken p2p traffic and continues to grow (pdf). HTTP accounts for around 46% of all traffic, while p2p accounts for 36%.
From the report:
"Presently, as a result of streaming audio and video in Web downloads, HTTP is approximately 46% of all traffic on the network. P2P continues as a strong second place at 37% of total traffic. Newsgroups (9%), non-HTTP video streaming (3%), gaming (2%) and VoIP (1%) are the next widely used applications."
They then offer an HTTP traffic breakdown:
"Breaking down application types within HTTP, the data reveals that traditional Web page downloads (i.e. text and images) represent 45% of all Web traffic. Streaming video represents 36% and streaming audio 5% of all HTTP traffic. YouTube alone comprises approximately 20% of all HTTP traffic, or nearly 10% of all traffic on the Internet."
Ellacoya expects the trend to continue as browser-based video and other streaming services explode. |
