Buckle up, IP traffic, driven by video, set to triple by 2019

Operators have begun to talk about 1-gig Internet services as table stakes, which is a good thing because IP traffic – much of it video – is set to triple to more than 2 zettabytes by 2019.

IP video traffic also is expected to triple by 2019, according to Cisco’s latest Visual Networking Index (VNI), increasing to 79% of all IP traffic from 66% in 2014 and, in the process, creating scalability and bandwidth challenges for service providers.
