Internet traffic
Flow of data across the Internet / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dear Wikiwand AI, let's keep it short by simply answering these key questions:
Can you list the top facts and stats about Internet traffic?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Internet traffic is the flow of data within the entire Internet, or in certain network links of its constituent networks. Common traffic measurements are total volume, in units of multiples of the byte, or as transmission rates in bytes per certain time units.
Graphs are unavailable due to technical issues. There is more info on Phabricator and on MediaWiki.org. |
As the topology of the Internet is not hierarchical, no single point of measurement is possible for total Internet traffic. Traffic data may be obtained from the Tier 1 network providers' peering points for indications of volume and growth. However, Such data excludes traffic that remains within a single service provider's network and traffic that crosses private peering points.
As of December 2022 almost half (48%) of Internet traffic is in India and China, while North America and Europe have about a quarter of global internet traffic.[1]
