Rezopole boosts peering with a radical new pricing model!

Rezopole has decided to push access to 10 Gbps Very High Speed Internet by introducing a single rate on IXP and NAP ports, from 1st January, up to 10 Gbps for all its PoPs!

This proactive decision aims to boost the Very High Speed Internet market by making 10G access accessible to all HSBB users and players (regional, national and international) working in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region.
 

LyonIX, GrenobliX, AnnecIX, the IXPerts of Very High Speed

The new chosen rate is €2400/year for the first port (IXP or NAP), an affordable price allowing Rezopole to guarantee a 24/7 premium service to its members.

And in order to encourage usage and redundancy, the following ports are 50% discounted, whether for peering (Internet flow exchange, CDN access and various caches - IXP port) or to access the Telecom Services Marketplace (Internet transit & Cloud + other services provided between members - NAP port).

Our other pricing conditions remain unchanged, you will find all the details in the 2019 price list which can be downloaded at the following address: https://www.rezopole.net/fr/rzp_tarifs_2019

Rezopole and Lyon Airports look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 17th October at Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport, from 9am.

Come and discover the benefits for your company of being connected to LyonIX infrastructures and more particularly to POPs L4 and L5.

The SHD Data Center is the result of 4 years of research and development around Cloud Computing. 4 years of operation guaranteeing hosting of IT infrastructures under optimal conditions of connectivity and security. Today, the SHD Data Center is a concentrate of the best of today's IT architecture, security, air conditioning and energy technologies.

Thanks to redundancy at all levels, SHD is able to handle all types of incidents. All the components of the SHD Data Center have been designed to evolve with IT needs.

Over the last 10 years, Internet exchange points have witnessed a considerable number of changes: technological change, an increase in the number of connected members, diversification of membership types, etc. The number of Internet exchange points has also increased. All these developments have allowed IXPs to become better known, to encourage local traffic and thus to become important infrastructures for network service providers.

However, this popularity also leads to problems such as poor router configuration by new members. "Such configurations can cause unwanted broadcasts, false route announcements, unicast flooding and bandwidth theft. All this can ultimately impact all members connected to an IX," explains Masataka Mawatari of Japan Internet Exchange Co. Ltd.

For this reason, a group of Japanese IXP operators, BBIX, JPIX, JPNAP, and KDDI worked together to update the Good Business Practices document. Originally developed by the JANOG community about ten years ago, this document describes for an AS operator the recommended settings of an IXP connection router.

The dependence on digital and its infrastructures is increasing every day. To ensure their independence, the majors of the sector therefore invest in the network (Internet). Sophy Caulier reveals, in an article in Le Monde Économie on June 24, the battle that is being played out between the various players on this gigantic network.

Composed of three main elements: data centres, networks and interconnection points, the Internet is indeed a physical network. The cumulative length of the submarine cables is thirty times around the Earth, or 1.2 million kilometres. However, even though this infrastructure was built to be resilient, it is on the verge of overdose. For information, Netflix occupied one third of the bandwidth in the United States during peak hours in 2016. Another example: in 2018, companies are increasingly storing their data on the cloud with more than 20% growth for the French market. But the risk of overloading the network does not really worry.

The main threat is actually the breakage of submarine or land cables that can cause an Internet outage for several days. This was the case at the beginning of the year in about ten countries on the west coast of Africa. The infrastructure therefore remains fragile despite the redundancy of cables. Companies like OVH, InterCloud or Colt choose to build their own network to protect themselves but also to reduce costs and guarantee quality services to their customers.

GAFAM, which has had data centres for a long time, is also investing heavily in cables. "They deploy their own cables to interconnect their data centers on all continents without going through telecom operators. The challenge for these actors is to set the costs. In other words, they'd rather own than rent! "says Jean-Luc Lemmens, director of Idate DigiWorld's Media-Telecom division.

But when it comes to developing countries or certain geographical areas too far from cables, Internet giants deploy networks via satellites, UAVs or balloons. Amazon, Facebook, Virgin or SoftBank also have great satellite ambitions. Nothing seems to be able to stop the almighty GAFAM in their race to control the armature of the Net.

[French article]

Contrairement à ce que beaucoup imaginent, Internet ne flotte pas dans l‘air. Il existe grâce à des câbles, datacenters et IXP contrôlés par des entreprises. Francesca Musiani, chargée de recherches au CNRS, explique pourquoi il est nécessaire de comprendre ces rouages afin d’être un internaute avisé.

La spécialiste des architectures de l’Internet nous présente dans une vidéo diffusée par Treize Minutes les dessous d’un monde encore trop méconnu. Les infrastructures réseaux font en sorte que leur fonctionnement reste discret, si bien que l’on ne prend conscience de leur existence qu’au moment où Internet atteint ses limites, qui sont bel et bien matérielles. Pourtant, il est primordial de mieux conceptualiser cet outil du quotidien, qui est bien plus tentaculaire qu’il n’y paraît.

Voir la vidéo

En effet, elle soulève le fait que les diverses infrastructures Internet sont sous le contrôle d’entreprises qui poursuivent leur intérêt propre. Un fait qu’il faut bien comprendre, notamment en cette période où la protection des données personnelles et la manipulation de l’information sont au cœur de tous les débats.

Dans un article de Libération rédigé par Amaelle Guiton, Francesca aborde le sujet du projet de loi sur la lutte contre les « fake news ». Pour elle, l’essentiel du problème ne réside pas dans l’émetteur de ces fausses informations, mais dans le fonctionnement-même des grandes plateformes sur lesquelles elles sont diffusées.

Leur modèle économique leur permet de propager des informations plus rapidement que tous les autres supports, qu’elles soient réelles ou infondées. Ainsi, une solution serait de rendre plus transparente l’activité de ces émetteurs de contenu. Par l’intervention d’entités tierces ciblant l’origine systémique du problème, Francesca espère pouvoir le résoudre sans bouleverser tout le fonctionnement des grandes plateformes. De plus, elle estime que le monopole de l’information en ligne par certaines entreprises est aussi une des sources du problème, qui pourrait être palliée par l’émergence de nouveaux acteurs. Des pistes de solutions intéressantes à découvrir dans cet article.
