The Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) has projected the global Internet Protocol (IP) traffic to reach 413 million between 2012 and 2017.
Announcing the forecast recently, General Manager Cisco, in charge of Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone, Mr. Dare Ogunlade, said the Middle East and Africa (MEA) would continue to be the fastest growing IP traffic region from 2012 - 2017, with a 5-fold growth, at 38 per cent compound annual growth rate over the forecast period. MEA was the fastest growing region last year.
According to the forecast, in the Middle East and Africa, IP traffic would grow 5-fold from 2012 to 2017; IP traffic in 2017 would be equivalent to 10 billion DVDs per year, 866 million DVDs per month, or 1 million DVDs per hour; Consumer Internet traffic grew 83 per cent in 2012 and business Internet traffic grew 63 per cent in the same year; In 2017, the gigabyte equivalent of all movies ever made will cross Middle East and Africa's IP networks every 2 hours.
He noted that 10 per cent of consumer Internet traffic was mobile in 2012, but that 31 per cent of consumer Internet traffic will be mobile in 2017. He also said 5 per cent of business Internet traffic was mobile in 2012, but that14 per cent of business Internet traffic will be mobile in 2017. Consumer fixed Internet traffic, he said, grew 80 per cent in 2012 and had 53 per cent of total IP traffic in 2012, but predicted it would be 48 per cent of total IP traffic in 2017.
Internet-Video-to-TV traffic increased 3-fold in 2012, and the average broadband speed grew 20 per cent from 2011 to 2012, from 3.1 Mbps to 3.7 Mbps.
Fixed/Wi-Fi was 54 per cent of total Internet traffic in 2012, but is estimated to grow 54 per cent of total Internet traffic in 2017.
Given statistics on the global IP traffic drivers, Ogunlade said there would be more global Internet users in the future.
He said by 2017, there would be about 3.6 billion Internet users, which would be more than 48 per cent of the world's projected population of 7.6 billion.
The statistics also showed that in 2012, there were 2.3 billion Internet users, which is about 32 per cent of the world's population of 7.2 billion.
Ogunlade said by 2017, there would be more than 19 billion global network connections for fixed/mobile personal devices, M2M connections, among others.
Globally, the average fixed broadband speed will increase 3.5-fold from 2012 - 2017, from 11.3 Mbps to 39 Mbps, he said, adding that the average fixed broadband speed grew 30 per cent from 2011 - 2012, from 8.7 Mbps to 11.3 Mbps.
For increased global use of video services/applications, the statistics revealed that global network users would generate 3 trillion Internet video minutes per month, which is 6 million years of video per month, or 1.2 million video minutes every second or more than two years worth of video every second.
