Abstract
A recently completed single-site study has yielded information
about how Internet traffic will evolve, as new users discover the
Internet and existing users find new ways to incorporate the Internet
into their work patterns. The author reviews existing statistics and
studies of network growth, which show that network traffic generally
grows exponentially with time, at least until the network carrying
capacity is reached. He then describes how he captured and reduced the
data used in this study. The following points are also addressed: the
overall growth in the site's wide-area traffic; the appearance of
periodic traffic; the growth in network use by individual computers or
users; and the changing geographic profile of the traffic. The
implications and limitations of the results are also summarizes
