Internet Interrupted: Why Architectural Limitations will Fracture the 'Net

Nemertes latest research study, Internet Interrupted: Why Architectural Limitations will Fracture the 'Net, looks at both the physical and logical attributes of the Internet. The study finds that, while demand continues to grow swiftly, driven both by rapidly rising numbers of Internet devices and by new, bandwidth-hungry applications, traffic is migrating away from the public core of the Internet and moving onto private and semiprivate overlay networks.

The study is a follow-on to Nemertes' November 2007 landmark study on Internet supply and demand, The Internet Singularity Delayed: Why Limits in Internet Capacity Will Stifle Innovation on the Web. Please join us for an exciting session when we discuss this year's study and the key findings:

• Internet demand is still projected to exceed capacity of the access layer by 2012
• The apparent flattening of the 'Net
• IPv4 Address exhaust and related logical issues
• IPv6: Is it too little too late?
• Initial steps to take to protect against physical and logical Internet challenges
