Video, consumer, and mobile traffic expected to exponentially increase through 2016
As Cisco points out, networks are an essential part of business, education, government, and home communications. Many residential, business, and mobile IP networking trends are being driven largely by a combination of video, social networking, and advanced collaboration applications.
