Networks are an essential part of business, education, government, and home communications. Many residential, business, and mobile IP networking trends are being driven largely by a combination of video, social networking and advanced collaboration applications, termed “visual networking.”
The Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) is the company's ongoing effort to forecast and analyze the growth and use of IP networks worldwide.
In May 2013, Cisco released the Cisco VNI Global IP Traffic Forecast, 2012 - 2017. Highlights from the updated study include the following projections:
- By 2017, there will be 3.6 billion global Internet users, up from 2.3 billion global Internet users in 2012
- By 2017, there will be 19 billion networked devices globally, up from 12 billion networked devices in 2012
- By 2017, average global broadband speed will grow 3.5-fold, from 11.3 Mbps (2012) to 39 Mbps (2017)
- By 2017, global IP traffic will reach an annual run rate of 1.4 zettabytes, up from 523 exabytes in 2012
