Internet traffic is undergoing constant change. One prominent example is the COVID-19 outbreak, a global pandemic, in March 2020. As a result, billions of people were either encouraged or forced by their governments to stay home to reduce the spread of the virus. This caused many to turn to the Internet for work, education, social interaction, and entertainment. With the Internet demand rising at an unprecedented rate, the question of whether the Internet could sustain this additional load emerged. To answer this question, we review the impact of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic on Internet traffic. Next, we will take a look at the rise of IoT devices and their traffic patterns.
