His latest data from the 20 leading tier 1 IP network service provider networks in the U.S. reveals that the Internet has continued to grow at roughly the same growth rate it’s been averaging since it began growing aggressively in the early 90s. Over the almost two-year period of Roberts’ study, April 2000 through the present, Internet traffic has been found to be growing annually by a factor of three. Roberts’ findings run counter to some networking vendors, analysts and media that have suggested the growth of the Internet is slowing. According to Dr Roberts, the confusion stemmed from statements and speculation on the capacity of carrier networks, not the traffic across them.
