Just like it says on the tin. Looking for recent statistics on global traffic by various (preferably application layer) protocols (i.e., DNS, HTTP, SMTP, etc.). Closest I can find are some regional and national breakdowns, but mostly from a lay reader's point of view.

You may have to introduce us the software you have been experiencing with before you come to such a conclusion. For example Netfiller's subsystems. There are still many more I know. But since I don't particularly use any for my work I understand none. But I guess latest approaches to identifying which application protocol is being used in a communication channel would definitely inspire me to learn more about them and to input here some more thoughts.

No software. Looking for global trend data, which I imagine would most likely be compiled by governments or organizations like Akamai.
