Netnod Spring Meeting Change of Role for Internet exchanges - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Netnod Spring Meeting Change of Role for Internet exchanges Caroline Puygrenier Director connectivity segment 16 th March 16

Content Change of roles of the Internet Exchanges Where Interxion see the trend going • Public vs. Private peering • IXs used for specific services • Future of IXs 2

Internet exchanges @ DCs – the old days 1 or 2 locations per country Peering point for all IPtransit or peering Tier 1 peering policy restricted/selective And this is what it looked like 3

Peering at IX’s - public vs. private Public peering Aggregation Benefits Ease of administration Public peering is used as Selection Criteria by Customers Public peering can be a cost effective way to peer across multiple DCs VS. Private peering Private peering sessions are easier to monitor Private peering is cost effective for larger networks (scalability) Private peering is more reliable Private peering sessions are more secure The "Big Players" privately peer with each other 4

Internet Exchanges – How Interxion see the changes Where Interxion see the trend going • Peering by “big” carriers & OTTs • Costs for network reduced allowing carriers/OTTs to increase private peering • Increase in cross connect requirements between tier 1 carriers (+ OTT & CDN) • IXs and Tier 1s/OTT/CDNs • used for specific services and/or marketing • Change from IPTransit purchase • Security, DNS … • IXs and others • Regional & local ISPs 5

Future & new venture • Possible Ethernet/VLAN remote expansion through IXs • Accessing multiple locations via IXs (locally, internationally and globally) • By providing reach to other geographical regions (DECIX in Paris, NL-IX in Marseille … ) • By entering agreements with “virtual” cross connect providers (Megaport, IIX … ) • AMS-IX – New York Europe Model to USA • LINX – North Virginia 1 (Open IX) • DECIX – New York • DE-CIX Marseille Cross Border 2 • DE-CIX Palermo expansion in Europe • NL-ix Connec@on of 3 Interna@onal PlaCorms • DE-CIX 6

The message is clear – or is it? Tier 1 (ISPs/Carriers) Tier 2 (ISPs, regional, local carriers) Interconnection Private peering Public peering Location datacentres Internet exchanges Interxion to work closely with IXs to understand next steps Beyond DC boundaries & countries Consolidation? 7
