What are the current estimates about the size of the Internet, all IP networks including managed IP and private IP, and all telecommunications including analog voice, video, sensor data, etc?
I can't decide, Sean, whether it's obvious or amusing that when I dug back to the beginning of this thread, it would be you who'd asked. (It says some things I don't want to know about how email clients attribute these days, but that's neither here nor there.)
Did you want that in "assigned IP addresses", "active IP addresses", "core routes", "core routes, deaggregated", "route miles of fiber", "aggregate bandwidth", or something else?
I'm tempted to go with either "mind-bogglingly big" or "42", but since it's you, I'll assume you want an actual answer.
Didn't someone recently redo the IPv4 census? Like last year?
We'll also need this data in units of number of Libraries of Congress. ~Seth
