Editorial

"You are holding in your hands the 2021 edition of RezoLink, the directory of interconnected players on the IXPs of Lyon, Grenoble and Annecy, bringing together the network and telecom experts of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. You will also find the local authorities and associations that are partners of France-IX Lyon.

More than 2000 copies of this new edition have been distributed, listing operators, ESNs, hosting companies, public and private players, making it an essential information tool and the Internet & Telecom reference for the region's economic players.

The most perceptive will have noticed the presence of the France IX logo in our pages. Indeed, since December 15, 2020, Rezopole has become France-IX Lyon. This new entity, born from the merger of Rezopole and France-IX, completes a structure already strongly established in Paris and Marseille. At the end of your RezoLink, you will (re)discover the map of all France-IX PoPs.

Enjoy your reading,

The France-IX Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes team "

A new contract between the Region, the 4 Auvergne departments and Orange, signed 10 months ago, provides for broadband coverage of the entire Auvergne region by the end of 2020. Everything suggests that this objective will be achieved, as will the goal of making 91% of the Auvergne population eligible for fibre by the end of 2022.

In order to finance the equipment of rural areas, the Auvergne Region and the 4 departments had created a Public Initiative Network (RIP). Last year, Laurent Wauquiez renegotiated phase 3 of the RIP, getting the national operator to do "better (800 communes instead of 400), faster (2022 instead of 2025) and for less (137 million saved)".

A monitoring committee was then set up to ensure that Orange respects its commitment. It met for the second time on 7 February. Jérôme Barré, Head of Wholesale Markets at Orange, declared bluntly: "In 2019, we have hit the grand slam".

In figures: 50% more sockets connected in 2019 than in 2018, 166,000 customers already connectable, 48,000 customers connected, i.e. a penetration rate of 28%.

Since July 2019, connected households have been able to choose another operator, Free. Jérôme Barré also announced that the entire offer (with SFR and Bouygues) will be available in 2021. And this will be a first for an RIP.

On the business side, Orange is committed to "putting fibre everywhere". An offer at 250 € is proposed to them, whereas the previous tariffs were prohibitive, Laurent Wauquiez recalled.

The next Rezopole User Group will take place on 27th May 2019 from 9am to 12pm at the Hôtel de Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 1 Esplanade François Mitterand, Lyon 2nd.

This edition will open with a short presentation of the technical and architectural developments that have taken place in the LyonIX infrastructure over the past year. We will continue with a review of the recent incidents in Route-Leak that have punctuated the news, such as:

• global injection and re-announcement of locally optimized routes (2019-06-24 Noction/Verizon/etc...)
• BGP-Hijack of Telegram by Iran-Telecom-Co (2018-07-30)
• SwissCom traffic suction by ChinaTelecom (2019-06-06-06)

The study of these incidents and countermeasures that would have limited their impact will lead us to the presentation of methods and issues such as:

• implementation and refinement of RPKI-ROA declarations
• bgpq3 : concrete filters from IRR data
• filter IP-bogon ranges simply
• feasibility of simple filtering on AS-Path
• PeerLock
• BGPmon's death announced

All these studies will be carried out in the form of a debate with the participants.

It has almost been a year since the L Digital, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Collective with the goal to favor women's place in the digital sector, is structured and launched thanks to greater mobilisation of its active participants in promoting digital sector among women.

Its members, who actively participate on this issue, gathered to coordinate their respective actions and generate a new synergy. Indirectly, they contribute in a broader perspective to the development and attractiveness of the digital sector in the region.

This is the case of Rezopole which organised its 5th RezoGirls on May 9th of this year on the "Women job seekers in the digital area: new career challenges" theme.
