Internet usage by traffic type

[tickler]

I ran across this little tidbit about what "apps" are using the most internet!

There are also a lot of stats in the PDF about usage by different devices. etc. also!

24.71% - NetFlix
17.23% - BitTorrent
17.18% - HTTP
9.85% - YouTube
3.62% - Flash Video

Even outside peak periods, Netflix still makes up just about one-quarter of total traffic online in the U.S.; BitTorrent uses the second largest amount of bandwidth at over 17 percent, the Sandvine report says. When it comes to upstream data though, shuffling torrents accounts for more than half of all outgoing data and Netflix stands at 3.5 percent, clearly reflective of the one-way nature of its delivery system versus peer-to-peer.

Here is the actual PDF, and some of the stats are really interesting!
