About PeerAppThe Challenge of Over-the-Top (OTT) ContentConsumer demand for OTT content – video, file-sharing, software downloads and more – continues to grow with no end in sight. According to Cisco Systems, consumer Internet traffic is projected to grow nearly 300% between 2011 and 2016. This trend presents a huge challenge for network operators. In the face of rising network traffic they still want to provide the highest possible quality of experience (QoE) to their subscribers. And, they incur these growing network costs with no corresponding rise in revenues. Global Consumer Internet Traffic 2011-2016 (petabytes/month) Source: Cisco Systems
