Same old same old really
Cloudflare says that global internet traffic grew by 17.2 percent this year, with Google still the most visited internet service, while the US was the source of over a third of global bot traffic .
However, the US is far and away the largest source of this traffic, accounting for 34.6 percent, while second-placed Germany sits at just 6.8 percent. Iran, China, and Singapore follow, with the UK in sixth place at 3.2 percent. One surprise is that IPv6 traffic is actually down as a percentage of the packets that passed through Cloudflare's network. It says that 28.5 percent of global traffic was IPv6 during 2024, whereas last year's report put this figure at 33.75 percent.
Mobile device traffic accounted for about 41.3 percent of the total, which is roughly the same as last year. This is largely split between the Apple and Android ecosystems, with iOS on almost a third and Android accounting for two-thirds.This varies by region. Countries with a higher gross national income per capita such as the US, Canada, Norway and Sweden tend to have a higher percentage of iPhone traffic, while Africa, Asia, and South America showed higher levels of Android usage.
One surprising figure is that 13 percent of traffic operating with Transport Layer Security 1.3 is using post-quantum encryption, which must mean that some organizations must be taking seriously the potential security threat posed by quantum computers.
