Netflix Eats Up 15% of All Internet Downstream Traffic Worldwide, Study Finds (variety.com)
When it comes to devouring bandwidth online, no company can hold a candle to Netflix. From a report: Netflix remains the 800-pound gorilla of the streaming world: Video from the service consumes a significant 15% of all internet bandwidth globally, the most of any single application. That's according to the latest Global Internet Phenomena Report from Sandvine, a vendor of bandwidth-management systems. Netflix was followed by HTTP media streams, representing 13.1% of all downstream traffic; YouTube (11.4%); web browsing (7.8%); and MPEG transport streams (4.4%). In the Americas, Netflix grabs an even bigger slice of the bandwidth pie, accounting for 19.1% of total downstream traffic. Here's an interesting wrinkle: In this Americas, Amazon Prime Video consumes more data (7.7% of downstream traffic) than YouTube (7.5%), per Sandvine. During peak evening hours, Netflix usage can spike as high as 40% of all downstream traffic on some wireline operator networks in the Americas, per the study, which remains consistent with past studies Sandvine has conducted. Further reading: File-sharing Site Openload Generates More Traffic Than Hulu or HBO Go, and the source study: Sandvine.
The ISP customers pay for receiving said bandwidth, and Netflix pays for sending said bandwidth.
Good thing we removed net neutrality though. Making things more expensive for consumers for no apparent gain is what conservatives do best.
A popular internet service, that regularly broadcast High Definition video and audio, and has access to a good portion of data, is using a good portion of the bandwidth.
Here is the thing. Netflix when it moved to streaming was smart enough to have good enough DRM, So content producers got comfortable with them broadcasting the data. It has become convenient enough that most people don't care and will download gigs of data over and over again.
Now I know there is some devices that allows you to download shows and movies, but still we are just eating bandwidth.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
Netflix has a lot of cash. They'll usually stop by your local ISP and offer them a big DVR along with money to pay for the electricity.
Uh no. The title must have been phrased by the anti net neutrality crowd.
Actually, Netflix doesn't consume a single byte of downstream traffic. They don't pay for it, they don't consume it.
ISP customers choose to consume the downstream bandwidth that they already paid for by ordering data from Netflix. If the ISPs can't provide the downstream bandwidth that they have *already sold* to their customers then they should face consequences and not try to double charge and extort other companies.
15% of All Internet Downstream Traffic Worldwide Is Used For Watching Netflix
"I'm a humble person really,
I'm actually much greater than I think I am"
They'll usually stop by your local ISP and offer them a big DVR along with money to pay for the electricity.
if I read correctly excerpts like this one :
The stat reported by the study are downstream of the "big DVR" cache-server that Netflix collos at the ISP's data center.
It's bandwidth consumed on the network between ISP and clients.
It's "big DVR to Android app" bandwidth.

I dumped Netflix. Felt great.
It's what the people want.
The people pay for it.
All costs are past down to the consumer.
All this means is that you and your ISP have a disagreement about the service that is being bought/sold.
The water company tells you that you should be getting pressure X and flow-rate Y. Well, what if everyone just leaves their faucets and showers running non-stop? You ain't gonna get X and Y.
Was the water company lying? No. They didn't build infrastructure for that scenario.
thought it would be pornhub that would eat up most of the bandwidth :-)
You're forgetting that the content from Netflix has to travel upstream from their servers for the other half of the trip
Actually no, it doesn't necessarily need to travel up. /. entry :
As pointed by other threads discussing this
Netflix usually sets up giant caches at ISP (that both saves Netflix and ISP's upstream connection bandwith, and also increases quality and decreases latency for clients).
So, sometimes (when you're watching something popular), the movie is streamed directly from the Netflix's caching server hosted in the ISP's datacenter to you Netflix app, without anything else happening on the wider internet.
The only bandwidth ever consumer in these case is literally the one you're paying for your connection.

0. I already pay fees. Just say I need to pay more, because, well, I'm actually using it?
1. Distance fee? From where to where? I know, that's obvious. So do I pay for the trip from the content provider's servers to my device, and what if it's poorly routed? On purpose? Or were you thinking RFC1149 distance?
2, 3. QoS is a thing. We have to pay more for a better QoS? Why not discount those who don't need so much, like email users...
4,5. Um now we're redesigning TCP, swell, What could go wrong with this?
6. Hop counts, sure. Not like even that minimal overhead will cause problems.
I'm still convinced that first, ISPs that also have competing businesses (Cable cos for instance) have a significant incentive to not treat Netflix and other similar providers 'fairly', or even 'well'; second, all ISPs have incentives to charge as much as they can for whatever they can, so competition is the only answer; and lastly, where other wireless solutions were flawed, Band 71 has some potential. This will be interesting to see how the rollout is received, once it's conquered rural areas, the fight for urban business will be brutal.

The water company tells you that you should be getting pressure X and flow-rate Y. Well, what if everyone just leaves their faucets and showers running non-stop? You ain't gonna get X and Y. Was the water company lying? No. They didn't build infrastructure for that scenario.
If the water company promises X pressure and Y flow rate, and you don't receive it, then yes, the water company is not delivering their promise.
Even though Netflix is at 15%, compared to Hulu, CBS, ETC. They all send the data.. I Pay for my bandwidth to use as I please.
Shocking I say.
1) Netflix is the most popular streaming service
and
2) It's video which, by default, is very bandwidth hungry especially at
HD and above resolutions.
Add those together and the headline shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
I wonder whether these stats include the On Demand services available from the cable companies? My Comcast TV service (live and/or on demand) is clearly internet based but are they counting that usage as internet bandwidth?
Netflix streams all of their content from a FreeBSD + nginx stack. No idea why they chose that over Linux, but it seems to be working out for them.
Its a moving target, NN doesn't allow for the next big thing, let alone however many other factors that determine usage.
Tomorrow SuperNetflix will start up and offer 8K video DIRECT TO YOUR REFRIGERATOR, using 95% of all bandwidth everywhere and somehow its going to all be the ISP and trunking operators faults because they can't magically meet the new demand and or renegotiate their deals because all traffic has to be treated equally.
Therefore all the base prices rise equally, and the biggest operators pay very much similar rates to the smaller operators if not the same rates, creating some level of a barrier to entry for the smaller operators.
So the prediction would be that with highly restrictive 'Net neutrality' in place that new construction of high speed trunking will stagnate or decline over time vs the opposite.
I'm sure there are some studies out there to cover this, but I have to go to work and can't do the research now.
As usual, government bureaucrats are promising fantasies to their constituents.
Either the water company must make expensive improvements to their infrastructure, a cost borne by its customers, or the water company can say "Sorry. Usage was not what we expected; we can't offer what we thought."
Speaking of covering the costs of infrastructure improvements: Who should pay? Should people who are engaged in video conference calls for humanitarian work pay as much as people who binge on PornHub videos? When Netflix or YouTube integrates a server into an ISPs last-mile infrastructure, who should have authority over that infrastructure or its tuning?
There's only one humane way to answer such questions: Voluntary trade, not the dictates of vote-buying bureaucrats.
You mean to tell me that consumers who are paying their ISPs for bandwidth are using the bandwidth they are paying for to visit a popular internet site? What's the next story, that 90% of cookies purchased are eaten?
1. You simply pay the fee, it's that simple!
2. You simply pay the fee, it's that simple!
3. You simply pay the fee, it's that simple!
4. You simply pay the fee, it's that simple!
5.You simply pay the fee, it's that simple!
6. You simply pay the fee, it's that simple!
You don't need to know what the fees are, you just pay them. Or you can design your own network infrastructure. You already do it for phones, do it for the internet!
Duh
Why not discount those who don't need so much, like email users
Because it costs the same to roll a truck to fix a last mile connectivity issue, no matter whether a particular subscriber's usage is heavy or light.
That's why I always use extra small fonts in my emails to conserve bandwidth.
Support Right To Repair Legislation.
Since when?
Perhaps Netflix should follow the example of the Slashdot story right above it, and run their servers on solar power as well?
I'm not sure if Amazon is going to like that plan, though, considering that AWS hosts most of the Netflix Infrastructure.
But, hey... Google and Facebook are going the renewable route as well for their data centers, so some fellow hosting platform peer pressure might not hurt.
Gathering the evidence for who to shake down.
Consumers already pay for this bandwidth.
Then customers starts getting booster pumps that suck out the required pressure X and flow-rate Y from the water mains. That causes other people to lose pressure and flow rate so they too get booster pumps. Then everyone has booster pumps and their water flow is back where they started.
Vintage computer adverts: http://www.vintageadbrowser.com/computers-and-software-ads
About the same amount of traffic as PornHub, then?
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Bandwidth is supposed to be used by people. That's the point of having it.
If one service takes a significant portion of the pie, then our infrastructure is at fault.
“Common sense is not so common.” — Voltaire
Netflix seems to be giving away their OpenConnect cache servers to ISPs in order to decrease internet traffic, and since these are a win-win for Netflix and the ISP, I would think that many ISPs use them.
I wonder if these numbers reflect that?
Which IETF document covers this 'ordering data from Netflix' in the IPv4 or IPv6 documents?
It doesn't exist. You're making up human concepts and thinking they reflect the underlying economics of IP.
Really!

Capitalism is an iterative process; it doesn't require full disclosure or angelic behavior; capitalism doesn't even require competence—it is enough to run the experiment and let the world react evolutionarily, by variation (e.g., supplier competition) and selection (e.g., consumer choice). This is in stark contrast to central planning by know-nothing, paper-pushing bureaucrats; even if you do get a group of Dear Leaders, that group is merely transient. In this Universe, no system of sufficient complexity ever last long unless it was tapped into evolution by variation and selection, the most humane form of which is a market of voluntary trade (including a market on the enforcement of contracts).
Libertarianism is a set of universal principles; authoritarian is the lack of universal principles. The Free Market is a long-term societal process that is aligned with universal principles.

The only think Alexander Peter Kowalski hates more than the Jews is when people tell the truth about him and his lies.
Like how he claims the Chinese copied him but can't produce any evidence.
How about when he states that hosts does port filtering but again can't backup his statement which was shown to be false.
There is also his list of "experts" who support him but it turns out they don't say what he is claiming.
This also ignores his out of context quotes he uses to lie by omission.
The problem with APK is that his entire reputation is built upon the lie he told years ago that hosts is an effective security solution. It has been exposed numerous times as being a lie and when exposed APK fails to argue logically and instead will try to deflect criticism, change the subject, move the goal posts, return to a previously disproved statement, demand you prove you did better than his file concatenator, or just call people names. Expect that he will used these tactics to try to deflect from these criticisms. He will continue to lie by stating that he won or "dusted" you while failing to refute anything you said, will never provide real evidence, and generally try to dodge the issue.
Face it APK is one of the most detested individuals here for good reason. When ever his poor behavior, awful logic, over statements, and horrendous writing are called out he has a fit and has done so for years across the internet. He is a spammer, and is an abusive insecure little man who is washed up and never amounted to anything. Until he produces actual verifiable facts supporting his case, which he can't, nothing he says should be taken seriously.
See subject & 2 questions you won't answer: 1.) Do hosts stop threats served by hostname (the way threats are done most) by blocking them? Yes. 2.) Do hosts speed you up 2 ways in adblocking (preventing more infection/tracking/slowdown) & via hardcoded favorite sites resolving faster + protecting vs. dns down or redirect poisoned? Yes.
My hosts program's the only 1 that does the latter @ TOP of hosts cached in RAM (for best performance) & only 1 of its kind on Linux/BSD in easy to use flexible configuration GUI form.

Do you TALK like THIS all the TIME or only when YOU'RE MAD at some PERSON that for some REASON made you like THIS & is this something you LET YOUR "FAMILY" know about(serious you sound CRAZY & "InSaNe" and normally ILloGICalill!)
seriously though, you need to go outside more.
All this means is that you and your ISP have a disagreement about the service that is being bought/sold.
The water company tells you that you should be getting pressure X and flow-rate Y. Well, what if everyone just leaves their faucets and showers running non-stop? You ain't gonna get X and Y.
Was the water company lying? No. They didn't build infrastructure for that scenario.
That's why the water company is putting meters on peoples water connections and charging them per liter (or gallon).
Same thing would work with the internet but ISP's want to claim unlimited data that they can't deliver.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_totalitarianism
So the ISP just has to do what the water company does, charge per unit. $X for 100 GBs or such and the people using the most bandwidth can pay their fair share.
The problem is they want to sell you what they don't have, unlimited data.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_totalitarianism
Around here, the water company is putting meters on the water and making people pay for what they use. The odd person has had a nasty surprise due to their leaky pipes.
ISP's could do the same if they're really worried about people using too much, but really it seems they want to censor.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_totalitarianism
No, it'll lead to data quotas. If you want to stream 4k video all day, it'll cost more. Perhaps it'll be like electricity, where you pay by the GB or perhaps it'll be more like buy 100GBs at a time. It's one fair way to make people pay for resource usage. The problem is that ISP's want to lie and make claims that they can't meet.

You didn't provide anything to back up your assertion that internet access is too cheap. Why is it too cheap? What problems is this causing? And why are your suggestions the best solutions to these problems?

Why should people who use more data be the only ones to pair for their "fair share"? What about people who use tech support or non-customers who get free advertisements? The internet, which includes all of the hardware and the transit costs, represents about 1-2% of your bill. The other 98% of your bill is tech support, marketing, and sales.
A one minute phone call to ask why you're getting buffering costs more than the dedicated bandwidth required to stream 1080p Netflix 24/7.
Yep 90% of his views since he created his channel are my click-bot and I also hit his Amazon spam links with Slashdot referrers since the beginning to make the big dummy look like a fool on Slashdot because his "data driven analyics" as he says told him plenty of stuff but he was "analyicing" click-bot views just look at threads on his /. cre1mer user page and look at his cdreimer twitter page were he talks about it to learn more.
The big dummy thought that spamming slashdot was efficient but it has been proven a long time ago that it isn't. Believe me, I know!
So the big dummy has wasted his time posting spam on Slashdot and making stupid videos.
I will leave the click-bot off his links for a week or two and make a decision then depending on how he behaves.
CROFLOL!
LMAO! Says a FAKE NAME "ne'er-do-well" - @ least I don't "HIDE"

P.S.=> Take your own advice + GO FUCK YOURSELF - ok? apk
This is true! The parent poster even asked me and others to play all outraged about his spam on Slashdot to prank the poor sucker.
In reality, very few of us really care about his stupid spam links on Slashdot but toying with him was quite a journey, reinventing ourselves in the process.
But everything must come to an end at some point and now he knows it is true and realize that he has been pranked!
You buy bandwidth from your ISP. Then you use it.
They should be glad the traffic is local and cacheable and not all from china.
True enough indeed, I knew about this too and I told him about this last year but he wouldn't believe me!
Since I have no control over the click-bot, I couldn't prove to him it was true.
Screw you FCLM, I know it's you running clickbot on my channel!
Sad, very sad, when are you gana get a life?
Now we know your double secret identity: Montreal_guy
You paid for access to a shared resource that gets "up to" a certain speed to your modem depending on what everyone else is doing
Not me. I pay $40 for 150/150 of dedicated bandwidth that my ISP says is guaranteed to always be at 100%, never "up to". Their network admin went so far as to say that they can handle all customers at 100% at the same time without congestion. Something about the slowest port is 100Gb and something else about terabits. Their network manager told me to try to find a way to legally use my dedicated connection because they don't care how much bandwidth I use. They're not a venture capital funded ISP, they're over 100 years old and locally owned. My ping to Chicago 300 miles away is lower than Charter's ping to their first hop.
Not even an intro price. That was $20/m. No bundling, no contract, no install fee, hell no fees at all. What they advertise is exactly what you pay plus sales tax.
