<p>Hello,</p>
<p> Many years ago I read somewhere that the ratio between inbound
& outbound traffic we used to see at that time was going to
change in the future, the reasons they mentioned at that time was
because the applications would change their behavior, things like:
Dropbox, Gdrive and others would consume upload traffic, I guess
these hypotheses remained in the past.</p>
