Sandvine’s 2024 Global Internet Phenomena Report takes a new look at internet phenomena using AI-driven application identification, classification, and content categorization engine, AppLogic, to discover and visualize the phenomena that characterize today’s broadband networks.
For the first time, we are measuring Application Volume, Application User Volume, and Application Popularity, doing more than ever to show the impact internet applications have on network resources and on subscribers’ App QoE.
Using anonymized, aggregated data from tens-of-millions of fixed and mobile network connections globally, combined with AppLogic AI/ML propensity and prediction models, Sandvine’s 2024 Global Internet Phenomena Report helps to inform and improve decision-making around Operations Management, Capacity Planning, Fair Usage and Congestion, Cyber Threat Management, Video QoE, Gaming QoE, Usage-Based Services, and new monetization opportunities
To get a snapshot of some of the report’s highlights, watch this video Q&A with Sandvine CTO, Alexander Haväng, and Sandvine VP of Sales, Bill Basquin, as they discuss some of this year’s key findings with Susana Schwarz, head of Sandvine Analyst Relations and Public Relations.
Sandvine CTO Alexander Haväng describes new data, new methodology, and new visualizations in this Q&A with Sandvine Media and Analyst Relations Manager Susana Schwartz.
Listen to why this report is the most useful yet, with per-user, per-app user, and app popularity breakouts of data, and deep dives into 14 App Categories and 11 Content Classification Categories that expand your knowledge of not only the internet’s volume, but also its composition and features.
In this report, we offer a greater understanding about the impact of apps and mashups, multiplexing and new transport and security protocols in order to help service providers plan for future service and capacity growth, and optimize QoE, while also securing networks.
We want service providers to be in the driver’s seat, and we’ve leveraged enriched “application and network intelligence” to dig up the trends that will help them analyze, optimize, and monetize applications to deliver high quality customer experiences.
This edition is solely focused on mobile data in order to provide a targeted model that mobile operators can draw from to begin their planning process. The Mobile Internet Phenomena Report ranks applications based on their “traffic share.” The fascinating data that fuels the report illustrates the disconnect between “market share” for companies defined by subscriber counts and how often subscribers use a service.
Traffic share is defined as the percentage of network resources used by a specific application relative to other applications.
The COVID-19 worldwide pandemic has drastically affected network usage around the world, with many operators experiencing 100% growth in traffic volume as usage shifts from enterprise and education networks to primarily consumer broadband networks.
We at Sandvine want to ensure that network operators can continue to deliver high quality internet services that consumers depend on during these times, and this report is our contribution to the network industry during these times of change.
Streaming video is over 65% of all mobile traffic by volume
YouTube is more than 25% of total worldwide mobile traffic by volume
Facebook Video has grown substantially over the past year to #2 worldwide at over 17% of total traffic volume
Mobile networks have different traffic composition than the what we saw in the 2018 Global Internet Phenomena Report, and this version of the report shows clear differences between a report dominated by fixed traffic volume versus a mobile-only view of internet consumption.
but the content sources for this video are fragmenting from the convenience of Netflix as the aggregator to many brands with unique original offerings. This has a big effect on overall internet traffic patterns, as it has also resulted in an increase in file sharing as users seek to avoid spending more money on subscriptions.
The data in the report is drawn from Sandvine’s installed base of over 150 Tier 1 and Tier 2 fixed and mobile operators worldwide. View our findings for 2018 by downloading the report and watching the related webinar.
