History and impact of IXP growth

on Friday, 26 July 2019 Posted in Archives Rezopole, Archives GrenoblIX, Archives LyonIX

History and impact of IXP growth

It is 1990: the Internet has a few million users and the first commercial companies have recently adopted this new distributed infrastructure.

 

The routing of network traffic from one region to another generally depends on the major transit providers (level 1). These levels 1 are at the top of the hierarchy, composed of a few thousand existing AS, forming what is called the network of networks.

 

A lot has changed since those early days, when small ASs paid the biggest for connectivity. This dependence on intermediaries has resulted in transit costs, indirect routes, long round trip times and a general lack of control over the quality of service. The bypassing of intermediaries by direct peering interconnections became the obvious answer, and Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) then appeared as the default solution for establishing connections.

 

Between 2008 and 2016, the number of IXPs and members almost tripled. At the same time, accessibility via these facilities has stagnated at around 80% of the announced address space (IPv4) while resilience has increased due to increasing redundancy.

 

In almost all regions, particularly in Europe and North America, IXP members have grown richer with an increasing number of members and greater accessibility. However, the regional ecosystems were distinct. For example, European IXPs had the largest number of members but the smallest AS (in terms of accessibility), Asia-Pacific was at the opposite extreme.

 

This growth raises the question of the observable impact of IXPs on the Internet. To answer this question, Queen Mary University in London, in collaboration with researchers from Roma Tre Univ, the GARR Consortium and the University of Tokyo, extracted a large collection of traceroutes covering the same period and identified IXPs crossed.

 

The IXPs have had a clear impact on reducing the average length of access paths at AS level, particularly for large (hypergiant) global networks. Given that these networks are traffic-intensive, it is likely that a large proportion of Internet traffic has benefited from a substantial reduction in the number of AS crossed.

 

They have also clearly helped to bypass level 1 transit providers. However, their impact on reducing the number of transit links (not necessarily level 1) visible on the route is more moderate.

 

Despite these changes, a clear hierarchy remains, with a small number of networks playing a central role. It is interesting to note that there is a small group of very central networks, regardless of whether the paths cross an IXP or not.

 

In addition, the Internet hierarchy has changed: large central networks have reduced their use of public peerings while IXPs have been adopted by smaller and less central ASs. This is probably due to the increasing popularity of private network interconnections (NIBPs), which are generally favoured by AS when large volumes of traffic are exchanged.

 

Overall, the increase in the number of IXPs since 2008 has had a clear impact on the evolution of the Internet, shortening paths (mainly) to hypergiants and reducing dependence on Tier 1 transit providers.

 

The results must be interpreted in the light of the constraints of existing data, and there are a number of areas where work is possible. For example, topological data are independent of traffic volumes and total visibility on the Internet is impossible to achieve.

 

In addition, content distribution network (CDN) redirection strategies are not included in the traceroutes; it is assumed that accounting for the increasing traffic volumes delivered by these networks would likely support these conclusions.

A player in sustainable development

on Thursday, 21 March 2019 Posted in Archives Rezopole, Archives GrenoblIX

A player in sustainable development

The Compagnie de Chauffage Intercommunale de l'Agglomération Grenobloise (CCIAG) is a local energy operator for the production and distribution of heat and related services in the metropolitan area. For nearly 60 years, the company has been facilitating and supporting urban development and renewal for an attractive, socially responsible and sustainable metropolis. Thanks to its innovative approach, it offers an ever greener energy mix to supply its heating network, the 2nd largest in France, currently 65% renewable and recovery energy, with a target of 100% by 2033.


Since February 1st, the CCIAG has been connected to the infrastructures of GrenoblIX, IXP / NAP of Grenoble.


"The opportunity to integrate GrenoblIX presented itself to us as we began to explore the Grenoble basin in search of operators that would allow us to increase our current external bandwidth to meet the company's growing needs as part of its digital transformation. At the same time, we were put in contact with the department in charge of Metronet (the dark fibre network of the Metro), which allows us to interconnect all our sites and connect to the IXPs in Grenoble at a lower cost.
The rental of a local loop, as well as the Internet access attached to it, has therefore been made obsolete by the use of Métronet for our MAN (Metropolitan Aera Network) on the one hand, and for the "last mile" to the transit operators present in the IXP DCs on the other hand.
In addition, our presence in the IXP will allow us to interconnect directly with local actors, and other LyonIX members, allowing us first of all to save even more on our future transit purchases, but also to reduce our latency times towards them.
In the end, we will have a better understanding of all aspects of the company's connectivity to the outside world, by becoming a LIR operator, and will no longer be dependent on the risks associated with a single operator."

Data interconnection barometer

on Wednesday, 26 December 2018 Posted in Archives Rezopole, Archives GrenoblIX, Archives LyonIX

Data interconnection barometer

By publishing this barometer of data interconnection in France 2018, the Autorité de Régulation des Communications Electroniques et des Postes (Arcep) proposes to popularize the subject in order to better understand the state and developments of this market.


The first part of this report presents this ecosystem of the Internet: what is the purpose of data interconnection, who are the main actors, how are they interconnected, what are the issues and modes of interconnection, etc.


In the second part, the Arcep makes an inventory of the interconnection situation in France. The data collected are aggregated results for the period from the first half of 2012 to the first half of 2018. They thus make it possible to see the growth of incoming and outgoing traffic, the increase in installed capacity, the evolution of interconnection methods, the distribution of traffic by interconnection mode, the breakdown of traffic by origin and the range of current tariffs.
