Global traffic topology Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) will carry 72 percent of Internet traffic by 2022 up from 56 percent in 2017.Thirty-three percent of service provider network capacity will be within a metro network by 2022, up from 27percent in 2017.Global 5G mobile highlights5G devices and connections will be over 3 percent of global mobile devices and connections by 2022. By 2022, global mobile devices will grow from 8.6 billion in 2017 to 12.3 billion by 2022 - over 422 million of thosewill be 5G capable. Nearly twelve percent of global mobile traffic will be on 5G cellular connectivity by 2022. Globally, the average5G connection will generate 21 GB of traffic per month by 2022.

Forecast overview The current Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) forecast projects global IP traffic to nearly triple from 2017 to 2022.The appendix offers a detailed summary. Overall IP traffic is expected to grow to 396 EB per month by 2022, up from 122 EB per month in 2017, a CAGRof 26 percent (Figure 1). This growth represents a slight increase in expectations over last year’s forecast, whichprojected a CAGR of 24 percent from 2016 to 2021, driven by an increase in the growing share of mobile traffic as apercentage of the total IP traffic.Also, of note in the recent forecast is the growing number of countries whose fixed traffic growth rivals that of theirmobile traffic growth. United States is the outlier, with a fixed growth of 26 percent in 2017 and a mobile growth of23percent over the same time period. Japan, Korea, Canada, Germany and Sweden, all have fixed growth that is onlyslightly lower
