VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE
Cisco's(NASDAQ:CSCO) Visual Networking Index Forecast Projects India to have the highest IP traffic growth rate
As per the latest update, Cisco has released Visual Networking Index (VNI) Forecast for the year 2012-2017. It revealed the information that the global Internet protocol (IP) traffic will grow three-fold between 2012 and 2017. India IP traffic (Fixed and Mobile) is expected to reach an annual run rate of 33.5 exabytes in 2017 which is equivalent to 8 billion DVDs per year. On a monthly basis, India IP traffic is expected to reach nearly 2.8 exabytes per month by 2017, up from about 454 petabytes per month in 2012.
Global IP traffic (fixed and mobile) is expected to reach an annual run rate of 1.4 zettabytes - more than a trillion gigabytes per year – by 2017.
In 2012, in India, non-PC accounted for 10% of the IP traffic, but by 2017 the non-PC share will grow to 53%. Portable devices, such as smartphones and tablets, will contribute 40% to IP traffic in 2017 up from 3% in 2012. TVs will contribute 10%, while machine-to-machine (M2M) modules will contribute 3% of the entire IP traffic in 2017.
Robert Pepper, Vice-President, Global Technology Policy, Cisco, said, "In today's world, connectivity is imperative for a country's economic growth and social development. The good news is, Internet traffic growth in India is the fastest globally. While there is great willingness from the government and industry to drive broadband penetration and ensure internet access, there is a lot more that needs to be done. As people, devices and data get connected, the possibilities it opens up are immense."
The forecast also reveals that the "Internet of Things" (the networked connection of physical objects) is showing tangible growth and will have a measurable impact on global IP networks. Applications such as video surveillance, smart meters, asset/package tracking, chipped pets/livestock......See More
