At the end of 2023, inbound traffic at IXPs in France is estimated at 46.5 Tbit/s, marking a 7.6 percent increase compared to 2022 (vs +21 percent between the end of 2021 and the end of 2022). Around 53 percent of this traffic comes from five Big Tech companies: Netflix, Akamai, Facebook, Google, and Amazon. The expansion of cache servers in telecom operators’ on-net content delivery networks (CDN) continues, creating the ability to optimise traffic relayed via interconnection: 20 percent of inbound traffic to end users is routed via CDNs.
