The important role of IXPs in France!

The important role of IXPs in France!

[French article]

 

Bits of Networks : Etat des points d'échange Internet en France (extraits)

Qu'est-ce qu'un point d'échange Internet ?

Un point d'échange Internet, ou IXP (Internet eXchange Point), c'est un endroit où plusieurs opérateurs réseau s'interconnectent pour échanger du trafic.

De façon simplifiée, il faut voir ça comme un gros switch Ethernet sur lequel chaque opérateur réseau va se brancher, à l'aide d'un câble RJ45 ou une fibre optique. Oui oui, on parle bien du même genre de switch Ethernet que vous avez sûrement chez vous pour brancher vos ordinateurs, juste un peu plus rapide et fiable (et donc plus cher) [...]

Les IXP permettent de développer le territoire local

Les points d'échange sont importants pour développer le réseau sur le territoire local, puisqu'ils permettent aux opérateurs locaux de s'échanger du trafic directement, sans passer par les gros noeuds d'interconnexion comme Paris, Londres ou Amsterdam. Ça permet de réduire la latence et le coût, et de moins dépendre d'infrastructures qui deviennent critiques de par leur concentration (par exemple TH2 à Paris concentre une grosse partie des interconnexions de l'Internet français...). En somme, décentraliser et relocaliser le réseau, ce qui a des vertus non seulement techniques et économiques, mais également humaines : cela permet aussi de relocaliser les compétences techniques [...]

[…] L'effet de réseau joue : comme pour beaucoup de systèmes en réseau, plus un point d'échange possède de membres, plus il devient intéressant de s'y connecter. En effet, plus de membres présents signifie d'avantage de trafic échangé potentiel, pour le même coût fixe […]

La qualité de service d'un IXP doit être irréprochable

[…] Les opérateurs ont donc naturellement tendance à privilégier les points d'échange bien gérés et fiables. En réponse, les points d'échanges qui veulent subsister et grossir se donnent les moyens d'assurer un service fiable : astreinte 24/24, architecture technique redondée, matériel de pointe, etc.

On assiste donc à la fois à un regroupement des compétences, via des structures comme Rezopole pour éviter de tout réinventer de zéro à chaque IXP, mais aussi à un fort partage de connaissance et d'expérience à plus large échelle, avec le RIPE et EuroIX.

[…] L'ecosystème des points d'échange n'est pas un sujet nouveau, mais il reste fascinant parce qu'il entrelace des problématiques techniques et des relations entre structures parfois très différentes. Il illustre bien le modèle distribué et pair-à-pair qui a fait d'Internet un succès. On peut par ailleurs constater que certains points d'échange sont gérés comme un bien commun !

 

Si le sujet vous intéresse, le RIPE NCC maintient un blog collaboratif très actif sur des sujets liés à Internet en Europe, notamment les IXP et le peering. Toujours sur RIPE labs, Uta Meier-Hahn écrit régulièrement des articles passionnants sur les enjeux des interconnexions entre opérateurs.

LONAP and LyonIX are interconnected!

on Wednesday, 12 July 2017 Posted in Archives Rezopole, Archives LyonIX

LONAP and LyonIX are interconnected!

With London Access Point (LONAP), England has joined the inter-IXP peering at LyonIX. All the members of this English Internet eXchange Point can peer with those of LyonIX through announcements made by the two IXP route-servers.

 

This international agreement adds to previous interconnections: Italie-France with TopIX (Internet eXchange Point in Turin), Switzerland-France with CIXP (Internet eXchange Point of the CERN in Geneva) and Bulgaria with NetIX (Internet eXchange Point in Sofia).

 

This new extension was immediately confirmed by the traffic which has been established once the link was opened. The Rezopole team is at your disposal for any information concerning this new interconnection. You may also consult the weather-map of Rezopole in order to discover the rest of the inter-IXP regional and national connections!

 

 

 

The Lyon-Paris link goes up to 10 Gbps!

on Tuesday, 30 May 2017 Posted in Archives Rezopole, Archives LyonIX

The Lyon-Paris link goes up to 10 Gbps!

Rezopole consolidates the inter-IXP infrastructure by upgrading its Lyon-Paris link up to 10 Gbps.

 

A new access point in TH2-Paris allows the opening to more traffic, in particular to the key cloud actors. You can identify the routes by using this connection: there are tagged with the 43100:9120 BGP community; the Rezopole/LyonIX community dictionary is available to the members in the Quality Plan Service.

 

To thoroughly enjoy this connection at 10 Gbps, we propose you a new BGP Audit and Optimisation service in our Offer of Services Catalogue 2017 (FR)!

 

Enjoy your peering!

Feedback on RUG 15

on Friday, 07 April 2017 Posted in Archives Rezopole, Archives GrenoblIX, Archives LyonIX

Feedback on RUG 15

The Rezopole User Group was held at the Rezopole premises on March 31st. Rezopole had the pleasure to receive Rémi Lapeyrade, researcher at the CNRS-LAAS; who presented the SDN project at the TOUIX IXP.

 

The participants discovered the TOUSIX project networks architecture as well as the equipment (Pica8 among others) and software used like the Openflow for a programmable ASIC configuration.

 

The TouSIX project is focused on research. The infrastructure is above all a technical and scientific demonstration seen as a typical model applicable to the SDN transition. However, the results show that it is possible to take radical routes (programmable ASIC) consistent with production environments.

 

The SDN advantage in this context is to improve the scalability, resilience and security. The advantage is also a better control of networks equipment.

 

Ronan Bianic from Rezopole team presented a report on the Juniper hackathon (project in partnership between Juniper and France-IX) that was held in Paris. The presentation was about the network deployment automation technologies via "ansible" and the VXLAN implementation,  tunneling technology above IP.

 

These points should be examined in greater depth, that would probably be the theme of the next RUG.
