In 2009, we presented results from a large scale, multi-year study of global Internet traffic across 110 providers and 200 Exabytes of commercial traffic. Our original study found significant changes in inter-AS traffic patterns, an increasing consolidation of "HyperGiant" traffic volumes and an evolution of provider peering strategies[. In this talk, we revisit our work from a decade ago with an in-depth look at the changes to traffic patterns, content delivery and Internet peering across more than 50 providers around the world. We show how cloud, IoT and significant changes to interconnection strategies are impacting networks in North America, Europe and Asia.
