61.5% Web Traffic Comes from Bots
The internet is a pretty busy place, with traffic increasing year over year exponentially. According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index, global IP traffic has increased more than fourfold in the past five years, and will increase threefold in the coming five years. Overall, IP traffic will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23% from 2012 to 2017. And yet, most of that traffic will be non-human in origin.
