Cisco Systems is releasing a report today predicting five-fold growth in Internet traffic in the next five years, principally due to the huge growth in online video.

Cisco says Internet traffic will top 56 exabytes a month by 2013, up from nine per month now, and that 90% of traffic will come from video, be it downloads or streams of television, movies or file-sharing of video.

The report predicts mobile traffic will rise 66-fold during that time, again due mainly to video.
