German extrapolation: DE-CIX expected a traffic with a factor of twenty by 2015

Last year, notify the central German Internet exchange DE-CIX, the traffic has doubled over the Internet in this country. One end of the trend is in sight as more and more TV and film content is distributed online - a trend that has arrived in Germany not even correct. The traffic on the network will be a factor of twenty in 2015 - so expect the operator of the central Internet node (DE-CIX) in Frankfurt am Main.

Meanwhile, the node removed every second of 1.4 terabits of data, that is 1.4 trillion bits, such as DE-CIX Management GmbH announced on Wednesday. In January 2010 it had only been 700 gigabits. An important driver for the annual doubling of data volume is estimated by the DE-CIX the increasing transfer of movies and TV shows in high definition.

In the U.S., 20 percent of Internet traffic is for the online video store Netflix. In addition, entertain various TV channels streaming sites, not to mention numerous Web video offerings, of which the largest is Youtube: The website reaches every day around 25 percent of all network users and is the third most visited site in the world.

In Germany, web video stores do far more difficult, while legal streaming offers plug still in its infancy. Large, international provider shun the path to the local market because of the inconsistent Lizenzenzierungsrechts in the European Union. This is what the EU Commission with a unification as soon as possible remedy: To be expected, both the number of traffic facilities and the resulting traffic increase significantly.

The network equipment supplier Cisco - over 50 percent of all currently used Internet routers for infrastructure providers support its logo - was predicted in a widely noticed forecast in June 2010, a quadrupling of worldwide data traffic. The increase is expected in Germany, however, will be above average, but Cisco will set it much lower than at DE-CIX.

According to a survey by the IT analyst firm Entropy Economics, the average user of a broadband Internet connection in the month a volume of 8.0 gigabytes of data - with significant regional differences: In Asia there are 7.0, 11.9 and in Europe in the USA 19 , 2 gigabytes. DE-CIX connects operated by providers or large enterprises sub-networks so that data packets will find their way as smoothly as possible.

Connected are more than 400 Internet service providers from more than 40 countries. The operator explained that the technology of the world's largest Internet node is designed to 40 terabits per second.
