- mrep 10y agoPer the wiki [1], Internet traffic is defined as: the amount of data sent and received by visitors of a particular web site. The traffic between europe and the US is not solely dominated by the amount of data sent and received by visitors of a particular web site. It includes a lot of other background data such as backups between regions. The analogy to economics would be the calculation of GDP in that you generally don't factor in B2B products/services when the end product/service is the consumer. Obviously, this won't replace my "laptop -> router" communication nor "server -> server" communication but it's the consumer that matters.
