Cisco Predicts IP Traffic to Increase 5-Fold by 2013

A Cisco research presented some interesting data today, predicting a Global IP traffic surge fueled by Video.  By 2013, annual global IP traffic will reach two-thirds of a zettabyte (or 667 exabytes). (A zettabyte is a trillion gigabytes.) Somehow I just love that word – zettabyte.

What does this mean for service provider capacity management? I hope they’re already working on it.
