PacNOG 24: Keeping local traffic local by doing local peering
APNIC Infrastructure & Development Director Che-Hoo Cheng discusses the concept of peering, the benefits of local peering, and the role of IXPs to facilitate easier peering at PacNOG 24 in Apia, Samoa from 24 to 28 June 2019.
Remote Internet Peering Vs IP Transit: A Shift in Internet Architecture
An overview explaining the reasons fo peering at Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), versus IP Transit, and the known benefits and uses of both approaches to a network blend.
The presentation brings to light the decline in pricing of IP Transit and what this means for the financial benefits that peering used to offer and how remote peering (or virtual connectivity at Internet Exchanges) continues to alter this landscape.
It also highlights how remote peering has changed the way network operators exchange traffic and made peering more accessible to smaller/medium sized companies and developing markets, by removing the initial barriers in terms of legal, billing and technical; simplifying the whole process of expanding a network.
Developing markets are also discussed, such as the Middle East, and the peering paradigm of 'keeping local traffic local' Vs virtually/remotely connecting to Internet Exchanges and the issues with both.
It touches on the shift in the industry and how Internet Exchanges and Data Centres are behaving more like networks and vice versa, explaining the new Central European Peering Hub project by LU-CIX - with IX Reach as the first carrier partner - whereby they encourage members to join major Internet Exchanges (DE-CIX, LINX, France-IX and AMS-IX) via their Internet Exchange platform.

Interconnection landscape in Asia - TPIX Peering Forum 2017
The document summarizes interconnection landscapes in Asia. It finds that open markets like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan have strong interconnection ecosystems due to less regulation and open policies, leading to better user experience, more competition, corporate competitiveness, and innovation. By contrast, South Korea and Taiwan are lagging behind with more restrictive policies, high barriers to entry, and dominance by major players that limit competition and growth. The document calls for regulators in Taiwan specifically to address the overly dominant position of one major player and ensure no anti-competitive behavior.

Protecting your Peering Edge
This document provides a 3-step process for protecting a network peering edge:
1. Tag prefixes received from peers and customers uniquely in BGP and FIB tables.
2. Tag external packets at peering locations based on the longest prefix match to identify packets from peers and customers.
3. Classify packets via MQC based on the tags and apply policies such as dropping packets tagged as coming from peers to protect the network. Hardware support is needed for classification.
The $1,000 Internet Exchange
This document provides guidance for setting up a new internet exchange point (IXP) on a small budget. It recommends starting with basic networking equipment capable of 20Gbps peak traffic and 20-30 customer ports. Market research suggests initial traffic will likely be under 20Gbps, serving 15-20 customers. Example setup options are provided costing $952, $1590, and $3979. A financial analysis shows that even the smallest setup can be profitable within 3 years but larger investments carry higher risks without sufficient customer uptake. Content providers are important to attract but require free services to participate. The overall message is that community building is more critical than expensive equipment for a new IXP to succeed.
How to build a successful IXP from Scratch
The document discusses how to successfully build an Internet exchange in the Middle East, using the UAE-IX in Dubai as a case study.

Gaurab Ixp Tutorial
Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) allow ISPs to interconnect with one another in order to exchange internet traffic. IXPs are critical infrastructure that enable the internet to function. They provide a meeting point for ISPs to establish peering connections so they can exchange traffic between their networks in a cost effective manner, rather than relying on more expensive paid transit agreements. The document discusses the history and evolution of IXPs from early shared Ethernet exchanges to current high speed switched exchanges. It also covers IXP models, technical requirements for participants, and resources for further information.

PTC'14 Presentation by Steve Wilcox: “The Role IXPs and Peering Play in the E...
Presentation given by Stephen Wilcox, CEO of IX Reach at PTC'14, entitled “The Role IXPs and Peering Play in the Evolution of the Internet”.
Excerpt:
"There are over 400 Internet Exchange Points distributed across the world, and growing. The largest and most successful reside in Europe and play a vital role in the growth and evolution of the Internet. There are over 50 IXPs in Europe alone, most promoting local traffic exchange but only a handful recognised as international hubs for interconnections. These particular IXPs continue to increase their value added services and expand globally - most recently to the US - promoting their non-for-profit and neutral business models in varying and emerging markets. This recent expansion makes it all the more important to consider the role IXPs and peering play in the continuing evolution of the Internet and how network operators should approach peering in a network blend.
The reciprocal interplay between Tier 1, 2 and 3 networks over IXPs, particularly those with an international focus, has become an interesting addition to the global Internet topology, enabling networks to reduce their costs and the Internet to grow in-line with end-user demand for high-bandwidth content and mobile usage. However, given 99.5% of peering agreements are completed on a hand shake, and the majority are settlement-free, scenarios such as de-peering can still occur, leading to partial Internet black-outs and events such as these need to be taken into consideration when building redundancy into a network.
This industry briefing will discuss the most common ways different networks value and utilise IXPs in their network blend, what to consider when choosing peering locations, why some participate at an IXP while others do not, and the de-peering scenarios that can occur and the impact this can have on a network's service. It will also touch on the geographical positioning of major IXPs and the trends in peering partners by selected countries."
Roaming 2011

- 16. How to succeed • know the needs of the market • build trust • mutual competitors are to co-operate • keep overheads / costs low • keep fees low, get all players connected • avoid obstacles for peers to connect • don’t impose restrictive policies
- 17. Various models - Commercial / non-profit - As part of other (colocation) business - Community or member-run - Located in own facility, neutral place, or a market player?
- 18. Decisions… There are best practices: - Neutral location - Transparent governance - Sustainability – are fees charged?
- 19. Changing environment • Initially it is advised to have only one IXP in a Metro area – to avoid spreading. • Extending an IXP over multiple locations – within a Metro area • Connecting “remote peers” through a carrier
- 20. Create incentives Value-adds: • Statistics • BGP route servers • Looking glass • DNS root servers
