Re: Traffic ratio of an ISP

[Alejandro Acosta <alejandroacostaalamo () gmail com>]

Hello,

  Many years ago I read somewhere that the ratio between inbound &
outbound traffic we used to see at that time was going to change in the
future, the reasons they mentioned at that time was because the
applications would change their behavior, things like: Dropbox, Gdrive
and others would consume upload traffic, I guess these hypotheses
remained in the past.

Alejandro,
