People working in internet infrastructure... is the increase in videoconference traffic noticeable yet? I imagine it’s a big deal since you can’t buffer and exploit redundancy like you can with streaming broadcast video. This is lots of unique network edge to network edge duplex.

Networks simply lose and delay stuff that is contended. TCP/IP has no QoS nor broadcast capability. To guarantee anything you'd need a different protcol. Broadcast capable networks exist but then you need your own cables running that protocol. So don't really exist for consumers.
