[AusNOG] Traffic volumes & COVID19 impact?

[Vijay Sivaraman]

Correct Bevan – conferencing was only 1.68% of total daily traffic last week (even though it grew by 214% over the past 3 weeks). Video (36%), downloads (43%), and browsing (15%) together account for about 94% of total daily traffic volume.
In the mornings (9am-10am) though conferencing accounted for 4% of overall traffic. Another interesting observation was that speed tests grew by 317%, though in absolute volume terms it is still very small at 0.17% of total traffic.
Regards,
Vijay

It’s all relative.  Streaming still makes up the vast amount of capacity usage, but yeah Video conferencing type data has increased significantly.  This will only grow over time once school goes back and the vast majority of students are logging in all together for the first time.  Hold on!

Cheers

Hi Phillip,

Canopus Networks, a home-grown “DPI” vendor with deployments at several RSPs across the country, is putting out a daily tracker on network traffic trends.

It shows aggregate traffic for conferencing, video, game-play, and game-downloads at: https://canopusnet.com/

The graphs are updated daily and are interactive.

Anyone interested in further discussions, or wants to try the Canopus software to get insights into their network traffic, is welcome to contact me off-list.

Regards,
Vijay
