I am afraid that I do not have the GTR in which I discussed this at hand, but to begin with, it was 8 petabits (not petabytes) which gets a factor of 8 out of there. I do not believe that Internet traffic is generally doubling every 100 days. This was a John Sidgemore claim based on business traffic on UUNet. He has since fudged it a bit. I usually assume that Internet traffic is rising 1000fold every five to seven years (again the rationale is in the GTR about six months ago; I will check it). In any case, such adjustments will reconcile the various estimates (which are necessarily guesstimates). --GG
