Q3 2011 State of the Internet Webinar February 14, 2012

FASTER FORWARD © 2012 Akamai 2

Agenda

• Security • Observed Attack Traffic • SSL

• Internet Connectivity • IPv4 • IPv6

• Average & Peak Connection Speeds • High Broadband & Broadband Adoption • Mobile Insight (from Ericsson) • Related Data Visualization Tools • Q & A


Sources of Observed Attack Traffic

• Indonesia jumps to top of the global list in the 3rd quarter • Italy continues to top the mobile network list • Some overlap in countries between global & mobile lists • Nearly half of globally observed attacks came from APAC • Concentration of mobile observed attacks significantly lower

than in prior quarters


Top Ports Targeted by Observed Attacks

• Percentage of globally observed attacks targeting Port 23 grew significantly quarter-over-quarter, especially in Egypt

• Percentage of mobile observed attacks targeting Ports 22 & 23 declined quarter-over-quarter

• Data from third-party ‘honeypot’ system - strong overlap with Akamai in targeted ports, though percentages differed


Client-Side SSL Cipher Observations

• What is an “SSL Cipher”? • Q3 trends in line with those observed in Q2 • Use of EXP-DES-CBC-SHA-40 has almost completely stopped

over the last year • Use of AES256-SHA-1 has grown the most over the past year


IPv4 Addresses Seen By Akamai

• Over 615 million IPv4 addresses from 239 countries/regions connected to Akamai in Q3 2011.

• The rate of yearly change may be slowing across the top countries – YoY growth rates have been declining throughout 2011.

• Over the long-term, we expect measurements to show movement of unique addresses from IPv4-based to IPv6-based.


IPv6 AS Adoption (as seen by Hurricane Electric)

• Rate of growth from Q3 2010-2011 much greater than from Q3 2009-2010

• Growth rate in Q3 2011 flat, though it grew by 9% in Q3 2010, and 4% in Q3 2009

• Rate of growth from Q3 2010-2011 much greater than from Q3 2009-2010

• Growth rate in Q3 2011 lower than in Q3 2010 or 2009


Global Average Connection Speeds

• Solid QoQ & strong YoY growth seen in global average speed • Globally, among qualifying countries/regions:

• greatest growth seen in New Caledonia (+151%) • greatest loss seen in Libya (-82%) • 29 had average connection speeds of 1 Mbps or less


Regional Average Connection Speed Comparison

• Greatest range in average speeds seen across APAC countries • Average speeds above 10 Mbps seen only in APAC, not US or EU • YoY changes > 10% seen in most EU & APAC countries and

top U.S. states


Global Average Peak Connection Speeds

• Nominal quarterly and strong yearly growth seen in global average peak connection speed (3rd consecutive Q >10 Mbps)

• Average peak speeds >10 Mbps again seen in 69 countries • Globally, among qualifying countries/regions:

• South Korea & Hong Kong were the only two > 40 Mbps • Guinea-Bissau’s 1.7 Mbps was the lowest


Regional Avg Peak Connection Speed Comparison

• QoQ growth above 10% seen in U.S. states and surveyed APAC countries, but not in surveyed European countries

• 30 Mbps remains a key threshold – few countries/states above it, otherwise most countries are well below it

• Clustering in the 20-30 Mbps range most significant in US & Europe


Global High Broadband Adoption

• Nearly 30% of all connections to Akamai in Q3 2011 were at speeds above 5 Mbps – nominal quarterly & solid yearly growth

• China jumped to 1.0% adoption (+78% QoQ), India jumped to 0.6% adoption (+46% QoQ)

• Of the 62 countries/regions that qualified for inclusion, 26 saw adoption rates more than double YoY


Regional High Broadband Adoption Comparison

• Very wide range of adoption rates seen in both Europe & APAC • High broadband adoption >70% only seen in South Korea and a

few U.S. states – large gap below that threshold • YoY growth of 100% or more seen in several European & APAC

countries, but not in U.S. states


Global Broadband Adoption

• Approximately two-thirds of all connections to Akamai in Q3 2011 were at speeds above 2 Mbps - nominal quarterly & yearly growth

• European countries continue to dominate the Top 10 • Globally, among qualifying countries/regions:

• Venezuela had the lowest level of broadband adoption (2.0%) • 18 countries had broadband adoption of 90% or more


Regional Broadband Adoption Comparison

• Fewer Asia Pacific countries with broadband adoption > 90% as compared to U.S. states or European countries

• Minimal QoQ change across top U.S. states & European countries • Among qualifying countries, the Philippines was the only one with

broadband adoption below 10%
