More than a billion new internet users and 10 billion new devices and connections will see the amount of IP traffic flowing over the internet in the next few years almost treble, according to the latest edition of Cisco’s Visual Networking Index (VNI).
The new VNI report predicts that by the end of the decade, there would be 3.4 devices and connections for every human on the planet, up from 2.2 per capita in 2015, through a combination of more access to personal devices and the deployment of machine-to-machine (M2M) or internet of things (IoT) devices.
