Google Accounts for 6% of All Internet Traffic (nytimes.com)

What's really interesting is that they're counting all Internet traffic in this study. They quote Web Traffic as making up 52% of Internet Traffic meaning Google actually accounts for more than double that 6%.

More interesting to me was the fact that 30 companies (Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, et al.) account for more than 60% of web traffic. I actually thought that number would be lower.


What about things like SMTP? Google probably shuffles around a bunch of email data.


Probably eventually the Pareto principle will apply.
