Network World is reporting that puppy cams, which are Webcams people set up to keep an eye on their pet during the day, and other streaming and media services (e.g., Netflix) could bring the Internet to its knees.
“An unexpected driver in this overall growth of Internet traffic is the surge in ambient video. This is so-called ‘puppy cam’ traffic — fixed video sources featuring pets, so-called ‘nanny cam’ child care and health monitoring video streams, and especially security camera applications.”
