Rezopole has set up an alternative filtering method of its members BGP route advertisements on its Route Servers : RPKI + ROA.

This method enables to check that BGP advertisements of interconnected members are correct and that the given prefix matches the AS that sent it.

Filtering on the RIPE data base

“Before using the RPKI + ROA method, we were only filtering using the RIPE objects from the RIPE data base. Thanks to the two implemented methods we can now do a thorough check of routes that we communicate to our members on our main Cisco Route Server” states Arnaud Fenioux, Technical Manager at Rezopole.

LyonIX, the Lyon Internet eXchange Point, has been hosting since May 2013 an OpenStreetMap (OSM ) server, a free and collaborative mapping project. From the very beginning, the server hosted by the Lyon IXP sent the content of the project mainly in Africa and parts of the Middle East. Today 100% of OpenStreetMap content served in Africa comes from the server hosted by LyonIX. Source: official website of OSM http://dns.openstreetmap.org/tile.openstreetmap.org.html

About OpenStreetMap

Launched in 2004, OpenStreetMap is an international collaborative project. Its purpose is to produce a participatory world map, free of law. So everyone can make changes, from the name correction of a street to the creation of thematic maps. Today there is a large number of various maps, such as power grids, the land registry for some countries, or the mapping of flooded areas in Sudan in order to perform humanitarian aid actions.

This project offers a variety of interests and applications now available in Africa in good conditions of use and flow. OpenStreetMap server is hosted on LyonIX, the first regional Internet eXchange Point in France. It has been created in 2001 and has now more than 70 interconnected members. LyonIX is an Internet infrastructure that allows the participants to exchange data at a very high speed Internet: Telecom operators, Internet service providers, IT companies, large companies, local authorities and public institutions.

Through this association, people living in Africa now have access to the complete maps, in good quality. They are editable and available mainly at very high speed Internet. This is an opportunity for African people to optimize, both locally and internationally, by adding their comments, or creating special maps according to their needs, and, freely use them.

In 2013, many new DataCenter have been created in Lyon. The Greater Lyon experienced a shortage a few years ago but is now in a position to insure the future. Besides public DataCenters (Education, Research, or local government services) and DataCenters dedicated to a single company, hosting commercial DataCenters are booming in Lyon and its region.

It is worth mentioning that the set back was important: till 2010, there were only 5 DataCenters that may host racks. Now nearly twenty players can offer hosting servers. Rezopole has produced a map of these centers. And several projects are still under construction near the capital of saplings. Lyon city has caught, up in less than 10 years, its delay in this field. An interesting detail: all DataCenters recently created (Maxnod, DCforDATA, FMI, CFI, One-System, SynAAps) joined Lyonix from the beginning of their activities !

In September 2013, Rezopole will organise its annual Advisory Board. On September, 9, members, financial supporters and other players will have a meeting in the association offices, to exchange strategic advice and recommendations for the Rezopole activity.
