intereting they can say this:

Nearly 75% of US internet users watched an average of 158 minutes of online video and viewed more than 8.3bn video streams during May, according to research by measurement firm comScore.

If that is accurate coming from a UK site then what does that say about privacy?

Gah, I still want to know! My curiousity's unsatisfied.

Back from the whole NSA-spying-on-everything thing, when I stopped to consider the logistics to consider how plausible it might be, I wondered what the net's communication load is like. Just how much information are we sending around this world every second? Where does one even find such data? Does it even exist?

*Grumble.* While I'm still upset about the NSA spying, this point's really getting irking me; I just haven't been able to find the statistic. So.. anyone know or know how to find what the net usage is? In the US, around the world, in a particular state.. I'm not picky.

Further, I wonder how much of our net pipeline usage could be toned down with more efficient systems? I wonder how much encryption increases traffic need of the same data? I wonder what traffic's split up like.. how much of it's text, how much is just a ton of video, how much are pictures, even the logos on pages..

..where does one find this stuff?

-seems skewed. i often have landed on a page- that the knucklehead designer put too much code on. -if it takes too long to load- i leave- not seeing the spactacular content the page might have denoted. [gee billions of pages- one can just move on- imagine that]

So who is going to come up with a scheme for "Internet Offset Credits" , IOCs (Just send me $10 and I'll stay off the Internet for you for 24 hrs...)

Remember, you heard it first here!

As of 2007, the internet core link speed is 10 Gbit/s, with a few links at 40 Gbit/s.

( Google is working on their own router hardware reportedly built around 10GbE. )

They're arranged roughly like this:

( An optical splitter on any link ( or a mirrored GigE port ) will capture data at "wire speeds" -- You can see the advantage of tapping the "core routers".
