[governance] U.S. - Japan Policy Cooperation Dialogue on the Internet Economy

Mon Oct 22 16:09:22 EDT 2012

David,

as mentioned in recent discussions, that indeed seems to be a trend, a kind of "new breed" IXPs which are becoming attractive as points of presence of aggregated traffic, so Google, Akamai, and others are using them the same way they would ISPs - in some cases with no money exchanged, or only the membership in the otherwise non-profit IXP.

The ISPs gain in that their routes and bandwidth to these providers become less expensive, so the ROI on the investment in becoming members of the IXP and paying for fiber to the IXP is promising. I don't think this equation is fully worked out but I see associations forming on this premise.

Mind you, the stats I know are that an NREN has 30% of its traffic to Google (Gmail, Google search, YouTube, etc.) so this also means that the local content providers are falling short in capturing a market. One more clarion call to do the in-country work for real.

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty

Hi,

Actually, the "fastest clouds" are the ones that are closest (network topologically) to you. Tying two threads together, I'd think "local" cloud service providers deploying at in-country IXPs would likely out-perform any cloud service provider at the other end of a long fiber (or worse, satellite connection).
