CDN specialist Akamai has revealed that streaming traffic for the Rio Olympic games has obliterated data from previous games.

In a statement the company said: “Akamai delivered more video data in the first eight days of Rio than it did for all 34 days of London and Sochi combined.”

Last week the company revealed that it had already exceeded the total amount of video data that it delivered for all 17 days of London in 2012 within just 3 days.
