Cisco Sees IP Traffic Tripling Between 2014 and 2019

Annual IP traffic will likely triple between 2014 and 2019, when it will reach 2 zettabytes, said a news release Wednesday releasing the Cisco Visual Networking Index Forecast. Some of the growth will come from increasing mobile access and demand for video services, which will represent 80 percent of global IP traffic by 2019, the study said. Global IP traffic will reach 168 exabytes per month by 2019, up from 59.9 exabytes per month in 2014, Cisco predicted.
