According to Cisco forecasts, in 2016 global Internet traffic will amount to 1. 3 zettabyte
This is more than total traffic from 1984 to 2012. In 2011, 369 exabytes were transferred via IP networks worldwide. The main reasons for this growth at Cisco are the ubiquitous broadband Internet-connected devices and the widespread use of video.
The number of devices connected to the Internet in 2016 will increase to 18.9 billion, or two and a half for each inhabitant of the earth. In 2011, this figure was 10.3 billion. If today personal computers are responsible for 95% of consumer traffic, then in 2016 this figure will fall to 81% due to an increase in the share of mobile devices.
The total Internet audience will be 3.4 billion people, and the average speed of a fixed connection will increase from 9 to 34 megabits per second. Each user will download via a network of 32.3 gigabytes per month.

The share of p2p traffic will decrease. If in 2011 it was 77%, then in 2016 it will be only 56%. In absolute numbers, p2p traffic will double. But IP video will grow even faster. In 2016, the network will be transmitted every second video of a total duration of about two years, or 3 trillion minutes of video per month. 86% of Internet traffic will be accounted for by video.
Cisco annually publishes statistics and forecasts for the development of the Internet as part of the Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) project. Despite the fact that Cisco, as a manufacturer of network equipment, it would be beneficial to overstate the figures in order to stimulate sales, the analysis of forecasts of previous years shows that they are quite conservative and come true with an accuracy of 2% to 10%, and deviations are more often downward .
