#2"one out of four bytes that are delivered to end users across the Internet originate from Google"
Such a mind blowing statement. Wonder when (if) they'll hit one-in-three bytes.

#3Can someone ELI5 the difference between this and https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/expressroute/? Is the technology principle the same?

#4Is it pessimistic to see a headline like this and assume it's another google power grab?
> This could be one of those defining moments where Google shows the way and the world follows.
But it will be one of those moments where the world follows because it's a great idea, or "because google does it".

Facebook or Amazon may have a say in that, a lot of those 1 in 4 bytes are video from Youtube.
That said, those bytes still need to be delivered, Google really don't have peers in this stuff, apart from maybe Facebook.

netflix last year was reported at 37% in NA, so I suspect it will continue to be a contender as it gets more traction globally.

'peak download internet traffic' whatever that means.

Good point. I'd be more interested in connection stats than bandwidth, that would far more fun to read.

#8I don't know, feels like a massive waste of resources and if Google is doing it simply because it can. It's probably much cheaper for everyone else to handle latency/throughput problems on the client side and application level, sticking to all the traditional networking, but not relying on it for quality. Even in the web browser we already can send all kinds of asynchronous requests to multiple servers in multiple datacenters, choosing the fastest response and making all kinds of decisions to where to send requests dynamically in real time.
And while I agree about overcomplicated routers and box-centric thinking in computer networks, it's pretty much impossible to change things because of the monopolistic nature of the ISP industry. They are very far from competing on the levels of quality where SDN could matter.

Traffic during peak hours. Peak demand is what really matters for infrastructure.

Need to be able to store datafiles as youtube videos... e.g. ISO images in youtube vids... allowing for a view of a youtube vid to stream a download where, should everything be prioritized for vides/and youtube-google enuring play... that file transfers can be massive and fast even if neutrality BS occurs.
