Why Not 100GbE as Service ~ JPIX Perspective ~
This document discusses the potential for JPIX, a large internet exchange provider in Japan, to offer 100GbE port services. It provides background on growing internet traffic and the availability of 100GbE services at other major internet exchanges. While 100GbE offers benefits like higher speeds and less complexity, there are also challenges to deploying it like higher costs, needing to upgrade network architectures, and verifying new 100GbE interfaces and optics. The document examines some of the myths around 100GbE technologies and costs. It ultimately concludes that 100GbE is still an ongoing technology and that the timing of deployment requires careful consideration.

- 8. Press Release -July 9, 2014 • Japan Internet Exchange Co., Ltd., (hereafter referred to as “JPIX”) an IX provider that has a largest number of customers in Japan, will launch a new IX port service, 100 Gigabit Ethernet Port, in July. Brocade Communications Systems, K.K., (hereafter referred to as Brocade) announces that it provides the Brocade MLXe Series, deployed as switch to support the new service. • Dwango Co., Ltd., a company that provides Japan’s largest video sharing service, “niconico”, and a wide range of entertainment contents and distributes vast amounts of content, will become the first user of the service. • The equipment for the new IX port service, 100 Gigabit Ethernet Port, are the Brocade MLXe Series provided by Brocade. • Brocade MLXe Series, which include a 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)-enabled model released for the first time in the industry, were selected to equip the 100 GbE Port Service. As a result of Brocade’s feasibility testing for various interfaces, it was proven that the 100 GbE Port Service can be provided through main interfaces, including 10×10, 100G Base-LR4, and 100G Base-ER4. • JPIX continues to strive to provide effective services and quality leading to stable operation, which can satisfy customers, such as ISPs and content providers, in order to respond to continuously increasing Internet traffic.
- 9. 100GbE motives PROS& CONS • Higher Speed – Faster the better • Less operation – Less LAG, Simplex • Less consideration – Once you upgrade, you are free from concerning upgrading the bandwidth • Opens Opportunity • Stability/Reliability/RISK – 100G affects too much traffic • Need experience… • COST – CAPEX/OPEX may higher than 10x 10G • Opportunity Loss PROS CONS

- 15. Technology Myth &Truth • 10x10 MSA is very attractive; cost effective – Really? • With CFP2 10x10MSA is unsupported… can be dead-stock • Big Chassis that supports 100GbE can be in the middle – Can’t live with old GbE interface… will drop packets… not enough buffer…, can’t be in the middle • Vendor lock-in… – As always • Timing – If we wait for another year, we could have install double or quadruple capacity line-card…
- 16. Cost Myth &Truth • 100GbE is getting less expensive – Yes it has. In our case, we see the CFP cost dropped by 50%... • Comparison year 2012 and 2015 • But Still: – For us, it cost 21 times higher cost…. 21X • 21x SFP+ = 1x 100G CFP PRICE… • Is it really less expensive?
