To paraphrase Douglas Adams... "The Internet is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space!" Scott On Wed, Aug 14, 2013 at 10:32 AM, Sean Donelan <sean@donelan.com> wrote:
Researchers have complained for years about the lack of good statistics about the internet for a couple fo decades, since the end of NSFNET statistics.
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?
CAIDA, ITU, Telegeography and some vendors like Cisco have released forecasts and estimates. There are occasional pieces of information stated by companies in their investor documents (SEC 10-K, etc).
