Network Strain: The risk and the reality

In this blog, I will talk about Network Strain. The internet is not about to implode. But ISPs and telcos are prioritising traffic and halting infrastructure upgrades 

Separating this pandemic from predecessors is that information technology is firmly on our side. In the absence of sport, Netflix is keeping families entertained. FaceTime or Zoom are connecting us safely from a distance while ordinary socialising presents a risk. And cloud-based workplace tools are channelling business productivity from newly-distributed workforces.

Our dependency on connectivity before coronavirus, but the degree to which the thread of the internet holding society together during this crisis is striking.

Europe-wide telco Vodafone has seen a 50% jump since the beginning of March. Telecom Italia SpA fixed-line data volume is up 90% since Italy went into lockdown said daytime data consumption has almost doubled over the last three weeks.

Need for speed

Fears that the internet may implode are misguided. The internet is a mix of fixed-line and mobile networks run by governments, telcos, ISPs, cloud providers and academic institutions, supported by a constellation of internet exchange points or IXPs. This distributed architecture means there is no danger of a global or even regional internet blackout.
