Streaming Traffic

Todd Spangler reports on a streaming traffic study finding that Netflix's share of that traffic has grown over the last six months and "drives about one-third of capacity infrastructure costs for cable and telco providers, according to the report from bandwidth-management equipment vendor Sandvine." Also, "Factoring in aggregate upstream and downstream traffic, Netflix represents 24.4% of total volume, ahead of BitTorrent at 14.2%." YouTube dominates mobile traffic.
