Bandwidth Consumption - Understanding the Challenges of ISPs

Predictions regarding the explosion of bandwidth consumption always seem excessive, and yet somehow when we get there, tomorrow's actual bandwidth requirements always make yesterday's predictions look conservative. Shocking exponential growth has become an annual event, and when extrapolated year over year it becomes obvious that ISPs need a smart solution that is as relevant to tomorrow's technology trends as it was to yesterdays.

And because yesterday most were conducting damage control that was the result of Peer to Peer usage, today most are left unprepared to meet the challenges presented by the new wave of HTTP bandwidth hogs. They include:

  • File Sharing Web Sites: Websites like RapidShare, 4Shared and the use of Usenet are becoming the new black holes of bandwidth consumption, changing the patterns of bandwidth utilization and shifting the bandwidth topology model. While Peer to Peer downloads are naturally capped by multiple user upload capacity, centralized server file sharing allow users to download at their full capacity, and for longer periods. This already major portion of ISP traffic is only going to multiply. For information regarding our solution for file sharing websites, click here


  • Video Streaming: The proliferation of video as standard content in news and recreational websites, and video sharing sites like YouTube have become a major part of user habits, another contributing factor to bandwidth drain.

  • High Definition Content: End user technology such as HD TV and video are becoming the market standard. Downloads of ten Gigabyte files are quickly gaining in popularity. Combining file size with the availability of centralized server downloads creates a major threat to service provider profitability.
