算是前陣子的新聞,在北美地區的盜版 IPTV 流量比 BitTorrent 的流量還多:「IPTV Piracy Generates More Internet Traffic Than Torrents」。
During peak hours, 6.5% of all downstream traffic on fixed networks is generated by TV piracy services.
To put this into perspective; this is more than all BitTorrent traffic during the peak hours, which was “only” 1.73% last year, and dropping.
如果把影音網站都考慮進去,最大的還是 YouTube 與 Netflix 這兩個啦,不過盜版的量也不小...
然後也有把最大的量分析出來,這裡面最大的量是 Indian Star Plus HD,應該是印度裔或是印度籍的人看家鄉的東西?
The most viewed of all in North America, with 4.6% of all pirated TV traffic, is the Indian Star Plus HD.
不過 Sandvine 一直都有方法分析整個北美流量,讓人感覺不太舒服...
