that is a completely wacky statement. i don't believe *anyone* knows much of anything about "most Internet traffic", other thanit's carried in IP datagrams. the network operators have enough troublemaking sense of their own networks. i find it hard to believe that some random 15th party has sweeping insights about the global Big-I Internet. i don't even believe it about North America.
This is hardly a 15th party study. Details can be found at: <http://tinyurl.com/yln4ogf> (arbornetworks.com) Results of the study will be presented at NANOG47. Excerpts: • The report is believed to be the largest study of global Internet traffic since the start of the commercial Internet in the mid-1990s. The report offers analysis of two years worth of detailed traffic statistics from 110 large and geographically diverse cable operators, international transit backbones, regional networks and content providers. • At its peak, the study monitored more than 12 terabits-per-second and a total of more than 256 exabytes of Internet traffic over the two-year life of the study. • Unlike other Internet traffic trend reports, the Internet Observatory Report provides a truly-global view into traffic trends as a result of Arbor’s “trusted partner” status amongst the Internet Service Provider (ISP) community. A main source of Internet traffic data analyzed for the Internet Observatory report was gathered from ATLAS data – an ongoing collaborative effort with 100+ ISPs, distributed globally across 17 countries, all who have agreed to share anonymous security, traffic and routing data on an hourly basis. -- Bob Poortinga K9SQL Bloomington, IN US ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
