Anticipating households’ demand for peak bandwidth
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an analysis of the evolution of peak bandwidth demand for households in the United Kingdom out to 2033. The model used to make the predictions is based on that developed by the Broadband Stakeholder Group but the model is extended to 2033 and predictions related to TV usage, web usage and file downloads are updated. A range of different scenarios are used to probe likely peak bandwidth demand. Whilst many networks are developed primarily to support video services this exploration suggests that it is the requirements of large file downloads, not video streaming, that generate the highest levels of peak demand.
