I'm interested in any evidence (even anecdotal) that general Internet usage (and more importantly, link utilization) has increased at higher rates in the last 6-12 months than in previous periods. Any graphs or otherwise would be greatly appreciated. The purpose is for an internal research project and this data will only be used internally and will not be shared, nor will the sources.

I don't know if that proves your theory. And one could argue public IX stats are actually not representative of growth, since many networks move peers to private connections as they grow. But it is data, and it is available. -- TTFN, patrick

Growth unsurprisingly also varies by region: http://www.msk-ix.ru/eng/traffic.html It has seen plenty of growth recently. If any MSK-IX staff reads this, a 3-, 5- or all-year graph would be an interesting add!

Aggregate IX statistics also fail to identify what part of the growth is due to people moving traffic onto IX:es, from private connections (transits). It is certainly data, aggregate data. I wouldn't hang my heart-lung machine off of it's accuracy in predicting individual networks short-term traffic developments though, so to speak. :) Regards, Martin
If it's a true research project, wouldn't you really be interested in both evidence for/against? :-) Just my 2c here, Adrian On Wed, Apr 20, 2011, Patrick W. Gilmore wrote:
