- Transparent AS and transparent Nexthop processing
- Extensive communities support (see AS8235 RIPE object)
• Shall I spend a minute on further explaining the Route Server as of
today?
Future Developments (1/4)

- zero packet loss on the switch
- participants are not allowed to overload their connections
- guaranteed support response times
Future Developments (2/4)
• Support for Multicast
- starting from Q2/2000
- do you need/want it earlier?
• Support for IPv6
- starting from Q2/2000
- do you need/want it earlier?
• Expansions sites
- in other carrier neutral telehousing facilities in Zurich, starting from
Q2/2001
Future Developments (3/4)
• Managed Peering!
Managed Peering
• The traditional Internet Exchange model where
every ISP negotiates peerings with each other has
reached it‘s limitations
• Lots of small and medium ISPs don‘t have the
resources to follow up with all newly connected
peers
• Lots of large ISPs don‘t want to spend the time
and effort to deal with all the small ISPs
Managed Peering
• The Route Server makes life easier but has
also it‘s shortcomings:
- some large ISP‘s don‘t want to peer with it
- sometimes peering is not free
- it‘s a „best-effort“ service
Managed Peering
• Managed Peering extends the Route Server
so that it provides:
- guaranteed service and support with SLA‘s
- manpower to assist and trace down problems
- provide outsourcing for handling of peerings
- central point of responsibility
Managed Peering
• Managed Peering also wants to:
- creating „pre-packaged“ peering with large ISP‘s for small ISP‘s
- creating „pre-packaged“ peering with small ISP‘s for large ISP‘s
- depending on the peering policy of the offering ISP the package will
be free or will have a certain monthly fee
- the monthly fee for the package is defined by the ISP but the money
is collected by Telehouse Zurich and passed on to the ISP minus a
handling deduction
Example:
SWITCH would say peering up to 2Mbit/s costs 500.- a month,
Telehouse Zurich will offer this to the ISP‘s and enable the ones that
have choosen the package. Telehouse Zurich will collect the fee and
credit it to SWITCH.
Managed Peering
• Further services of Managed Peering:
- monitor parts of the SLA‘s of the ISP‘s and escalate
them if necessary
- provide traffic statistics and also Netflow analysis to the
ISP‘s
Managed Peering
• Managed Peering will be available in
Q1/2001
• What do YOU think?
• Comments and suggestions?
Future Developments (4/4)
• Give non-ISP‘s access to the Internet
Exchange!
Service provider connect
• Create a win-win situation for bandwidth
users and ISP‘s
Service provider connect
• Only target a very specific set of bandwidth customers
with/which:
- have high bandwidth requirements
- manage and operate their own servers!
- need multiple upstreams
- want to be independent
- high connectivity requirements
- have the choice of ISP‘s
- connect to multiple ISP‘s
• Don‘t compete with housing offers from ISP‘s
Service provider connect
• Great benefits for ISP‘s and customers:
- ISP‘s gain better access to high traffic customers
- Customers gain better access to ISP‘s
- Customers BUY IP feeds from several ISP‘s
- ISP‘s can offer instant service to connected customers, no
provisioning times and no local loops required
Service provider connect
• Targeted customers:
- Video & Audio Streamers
- High traffic server operators
- Independent Content providers
- Application service providers
Service provider connect
• How it works:
- The SP is gets a 100M or a GigE port on the TIX and
pays a monthly port fee
- The SP does not get a IP from and has no access to the
public Internet Exchange
- The SP has to connect a router
- There is a dedicated VLAN between the customer and
every ISP the SP is buying a IP feed from
Service provider connect
• There will be different classes of
connections to the Internet Exchange:
- ISP, member of RIPE/ARIN/APNIC, own AS, own PA
IPs
- Enterprise, member of RIPE/ARIN/APNIC, own AS,
own PI IPs
- „Corporate“, all others, no own IPs, no own AS, will get
IPs from ISP
Service provider connect
• Available ports and port fees:
- ISPs
2x 100BaseT
2x 1000BaseSX
CHF 250.CHF 1500.-
- Other
1x 100BaseT
1x 1000BaseSX
CHF 1500.CHF 5500.-
per month
Service provider connect
• Service Provider connect will be available
in Q1/2001, but first movers will be allowed
already (see Aargauer Zeitung)
• What do YOU think?
• Comments and suggestions?
