Until recently, the p2p data transferrers, which make up about only 10% of all internet users, were believed to be eating 80% of all the internet bandwidth. The hyper-obsessed, super downloaders, making up only 0.5% of all internet users, were thought to occupy 40% of all internet bandwidth. The two groups overlap, leaving only 10% of the bandwidth on an average day for everyone else!
But this is not the case. Recent numbers from Arbor Networks' CTO, show that p2p traffic is only responsible for somewhere in the neighborhood of around 20% loss of bandwidth. The real cheese cutters are the streaming video audience! The very same that initially complained about the loss of bandwidth and pointed fingers at the p2p crowd.
"streaming video, like YouTube and Hulu, is now 50 percent of total traffic. During peak congestion.. 70 percent...."
Just to put this in perspective, the people who access and read this forum only make up for about 0.00000014% of all internet traffic.
