Look Inside the Internet

The internet continues its return to normal—however one chooses to define this term—in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

After a tumultuous 2020, in which the COVID-19 pandemic caused internet traffic patterns to shift and volumes to surge, network operators have returned to the business of adding bandwidth and engineering their traffic in a more measured manner.

In our IP Networks Research Service, we analyze the meaning of our robust internet capacity and traffic data sets. We also discuss factors impacting IP transit pricing and the role individual backbone operators play.

Based on hard survey data gathered from dozens of regional and global network operators around the world, we conclude that the COVID-related expansion of internet traffic and bandwidth was largely a one-off phenomenon and that the trends we had been observing in recent years have reasserted themselves.
