Internet Exchanges: Moving to 10 Gigabit Ethernet

Tags:
industry standard protocols

Overview Internet Exchanges (IX points, or IXs), sometimes also known as Network Access Points (NAPs) or Metropolitan Area Exchanges (MAEs), are facilities designed expressly to simplify interconnection (BGP peering and traffic exchange) among independent ISPs and other carriers. With the growing popularity broadband Internet access, ISPs are increasingly dependent on IXs for local connectivity and cost control. As a result, a number of IXs are experiencing rapid growth in the number of ISP customers and the bandwidth required by each ISP. To meet these challenges of both more stringent SLAs and more predictable network behavior under different traffic loading, IXs are generally deploying simple Layer 2 switched Ethernet networks as the most flexible and economical network technology available to satisfy their customer's demands.
