The Internet Society
Our Global and Regional Mission and
Achievements
Given the complexity, cross-disciplinary, and global nature of the
issues we address, the Internet Society advances its work on a
cross-organizational, geographically broad basis
This allows us to apply a range of knowledge, expertise, and
capacities to advance our objectives locally, regionally, and globally
By working with a range of partners from non-profit agencies, local
and global NGOs, academia, technologists, local councils, federal
policy and decision makers, business and more, we want to make
sure that the voice, expertise, and imagination of the different
communities can continue to develop the Internet
The Internet Society
Regionalization
Our regionalization strategy, spearheaded by our
Regional Bureaus, extends the Internet Society's reach,
influence, and reputation as a truly global organization
by building our local relevance, legitimacy, and
credibility, while strengthening our impact at the local
level
Our Regional Bureaus play a key role in driving a full
range of operational activities such as policy,
technology, capacity building, membership and
business development in a manner tailored to unique
local needs.

The Role and Effect of IXPS
12
The Internet Society
Role of IXPs
13
•  A primary role of an Internet Exchange Point (IXP) is to keep
local Internet traffic within local infrastructure and to the
reduce costs associated with traffic exchange between
networks.
•  improve the quality of Internet services and drive demand
in by reducing delay and improving end-user experience
•  convenient hub for attracting hosting key Internet
infrastructures within countries
•  Catalyst for overall Internet
development
•  Not limited to commercial ISPs,
wide rage network or data service
can benefit from participating
•  E-Gov, Universities, etc.

Measuring the Benefits and Impacts of IXPs:

Kenya and Nigeria Case Study"
•  Reduced latency increasing performance and driving demand -- Especially for data-heavy
applications, including video

#
•  Direct savings on international transit ($1.5M p.a. Kenya, $1M Nigeria)#
•  Benefits facilitating e-government and education services -- e.g. Kenya Revenue Authority, West
African Examination Council

#
•  Catalyzing local hosting and content industry -- Repatriation of financial platforms in Nigeria, Data
center investment in Kenya

#
•  Increased mobile data market by an estimated $6 million in Kenya; KIXP is attracting regional traffic#

Increased quality of service
Local service resiliency
Getting to peering participation
break-even can be a challenge in
some markets
“Value-added” services and other
performance enhancing benefits can
provide incentives
The Internet Society
CDN Caches: Localizing International Content"
• In addition to creating local
hosting, local cashing of
Content Delivery Network
content is a key opportunity.
• Implementation of Google
Caches and pops has had an
impact on local traffic growth
• Localized Google traffic
represents more than 50% of
traffic exchanged at KIXP and
IXPN
• CDNs report that the
existence of a robust IXP is a
key decision factor in
decision making on cache/
pop locations

Formula for Development:
What kind of infrastructure is needed for an IXP?
19
Physical
Infrastructure
Human
Infrastructure
Governance
Infrastructure
•  Important to think of IXPs
beyond the “Boxes and
Wires”
•  3 types of infrastructure
•  Physical
•  Governance
•  Human
•  IXP projects are most
vulnerable when the key
focus is on physical
infrastructure
•  Human infrastructure and
capacity building is the key
driver of success and
sustainability
The Internet Society
Physical Infrastructure

KIXP – Kenya
LIXP – Lesotho
IXPs need not be expensive
to be effective.
The London Internet
Exchange, the now the
largest IXP in the world,
started with 5 members on a
donated switch.
IXPN - Nigeria
The Internet Society
Governance Infrastructure
21
•  Not-for-profit, member-driven governance model is most
common globally
§  From small IXPs to some of the largest in the world. For-profit/
commercial IXPs generally limited to exceptionally strong markets.
•  Neutrality and transparency are key
•  Including IXP not competing with its members/participants,
•  Inclusive policies and processes
§  Encourage NRENs, e-Gov Networks, etc.
§  Sustain member engagement / development beyond start-up, vision
for the future.
•  Mandatory Multilateral Peering vs Bilateral Peering Policy
The Internet Society
Human Infrastructure
22
•  The most important factor for
start-up and sustainability.
•  Understanding the value
proposition
•  Trust and relationship building is essential
•  Technical Capacity Building
•  Both at the network operator/IXP participant level and the IXP operations
level.
•  Building local and regional communities of practice to sustain
and grow knowledge. International cooperation.
•  Reducing the information asymmetry to empower local and
international opportunities
IXP 80/20: “80% Social Engineering, 20% Technical Engineering”#
The Internet Society
Keeping IXPs in Context…
23
§  IXPs can be a catalyst of a robust Internet environment and market.
§  Many other issues are involved in promoting a robust interconnection
and traffic exchange environment in a country / region.#
§  Barriers and bottlenecks along the service chain are various and
challenging:#
–  Backhaul and Leased Capacity#
§  More costly to send traffic from Abuja to Lagos, than Lagos to London. Cape Town
to Jo’burg similar#
–  Cross-border connectivity, policy and licensing issues#
–  International gateways, landing stations#
§  With falling international capacity prices (including around Africa), there is also
opportunity to take advantage of international peering opportunities. #
§  ISOCs situates its IXP work within the broader interconnection and traffic
exchange (ITE) context. #

Programmes and Projects
24
The Internet Society
Need for Capacity Building
•  An IXP benefits from network
effects – the more members
it has, the more valuable it
becomes to join the IXP in
order to be able to exchange
traffic with the existing
members
•  As a result, a well-run IXP
providing such benefits can
develop critical mass,
becoming home to many or
all of the ISPs and content
providers in the country, and
bringing significant benefits
to its members and the
surrounding ecosystem

  • 11. The Internet Society Key Projects and Priorities in the Regions - 2013 29 April 201311
  • 13. The Internet Society Role of IXPs 13 •  A primary role of an Internet Exchange Point (IXP) is to keep local Internet traffic within local infrastructure and to the reduce costs associated with traffic exchange between networks. •  improve the quality of Internet services and drive demand in by reducing delay and improving end-user experience •  convenient hub for attracting hosting key Internet infrastructures within countries •  Catalyst for overall Internet development •  Not limited to commercial ISPs, wide rage network or data service can benefit from participating •  E-Gov, Universities, etc.
  • 14. The Internet Society IXPs Around the World 14 Source: TeleGeography World IX Map, http://www.internetexchangemap.com/
  • 15. The Internet Society Africa and Latin America Leading Annual IXP Growth Rates 15 Source: Kende, M., Report for the Internet Society: How the Internet continues to sustain growth and innovation, October 2012 Data from Packet Clearing House and AnalysysMason estimates
  • 16. The Internet Society Measuring the Benefits and Impacts of IXPs:
 Kenya and Nigeria Case Study" •  Reduced latency increasing performance and driving demand -- Especially for data-heavy applications, including video
 # •  Direct savings on international transit ($1.5M p.a. Kenya, $1M Nigeria)# •  Benefits facilitating e-government and education services -- e.g. Kenya Revenue Authority, West African Examination Council
 # •  Catalyzing local hosting and content industry -- Repatriation of financial platforms in Nigeria, Data center investment in Kenya
 # •  Increased mobile data market by an estimated $6 million in Kenya; KIXP is attracting regional traffic#
  • 17. The Internet Society Building Participation Incentives Beyond Peering Value 17 Internet Root Servers Mirrors ccTLD / gTLD servers Network Time Servers Network Monitoring Tools Increased quality of service Local service resiliency Getting to peering participation break-even can be a challenge in some markets “Value-added” services and other performance enhancing benefits can provide incentives
  • 18. The Internet Society CDN Caches: Localizing International Content" • In addition to creating local hosting, local cashing of Content Delivery Network content is a key opportunity. • Implementation of Google Caches and pops has had an impact on local traffic growth • Localized Google traffic represents more than 50% of traffic exchanged at KIXP and IXPN • CDNs report that the existence of a robust IXP is a key decision factor in decision making on cache/ pop locations EPF-7 Malta 17- 19 Sept, 2012# 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 Mar-03 Dec-05 Sep-08 Jun-11 M b it/s 00 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 Dec-06 Dec-07 Dec-08 Dec-09 Dec-10 Dec-11 M b it/s IXPN KIXP
  • 19. The Internet Society Formula for Development: What kind of infrastructure is needed for an IXP? 19 Physical Infrastructure Human Infrastructure Governance Infrastructure •  Important to think of IXPs beyond the “Boxes and Wires” •  3 types of infrastructure •  Physical •  Governance •  Human •  IXP projects are most vulnerable when the key focus is on physical infrastructure •  Human infrastructure and capacity building is the key driver of success and sustainability
  • 20. The Internet Society Physical Infrastructure 20 KIXP – Kenya LIXP – Lesotho IXPs need not be expensive to be effective. The London Internet Exchange, the now the largest IXP in the world, started with 5 members on a donated switch. IXPN - Nigeria
  • 21. The Internet Society Governance Infrastructure 21 •  Not-for-profit, member-driven governance model is most common globally §  From small IXPs to some of the largest in the world. For-profit/ commercial IXPs generally limited to exceptionally strong markets. •  Neutrality and transparency are key •  Including IXP not competing with its members/participants, •  Inclusive policies and processes §  Encourage NRENs, e-Gov Networks, etc. §  Sustain member engagement / development beyond start-up, vision for the future. •  Mandatory Multilateral Peering vs Bilateral Peering Policy
  • 22. The Internet Society Human Infrastructure 22 •  The most important factor for start-up and sustainability. •  Understanding the value proposition •  Trust and relationship building is essential •  Technical Capacity Building •  Both at the network operator/IXP participant level and the IXP operations level. •  Building local and regional communities of practice to sustain and grow knowledge. International cooperation. •  Reducing the information asymmetry to empower local and international opportunities IXP 80/20: “80% Social Engineering, 20% Technical Engineering”#
  • 23. The Internet Society Keeping IXPs in Context… 23 §  IXPs can be a catalyst of a robust Internet environment and market. §  Many other issues are involved in promoting a robust interconnection and traffic exchange environment in a country / region.# §  Barriers and bottlenecks along the service chain are various and challenging:# –  Backhaul and Leased Capacity# §  More costly to send traffic from Abuja to Lagos, than Lagos to London. Cape Town to Jo’burg similar# –  Cross-border connectivity, policy and licensing issues# –  International gateways, landing stations# §  With falling international capacity prices (including around Africa), there is also opportunity to take advantage of international peering opportunities. # §  ISOCs situates its IXP work within the broader interconnection and traffic exchange (ITE) context. #
  • 24. Interconnection and Traffic Exchange (ITE): Programmes and Projects 24
  • 25. The Internet Society Need for Capacity Building •  An IXP benefits from network effects – the more members it has, the more valuable it becomes to join the IXP in order to be able to exchange traffic with the existing members •  As a result, a well-run IXP providing such benefits can develop critical mass, becoming home to many or all of the ISPs and content providers in the country, and bringing significant benefits to its members and the surrounding ecosystem 25 Photos: © Internet Society/Shoot the Earth/ Nyani Quarmyne
  • 26. The Internet Society Advancing the Value and Viability of IXPs " Level “0” No IXP Level 1 “Boxes and Wires” Level 2 Core Functionality Level 3 Catalysing Growth Level 4 Thriving, Critical Infrastructure • Not all at the same level of development! • Most current IXPs only between “Level 1 and 2” • We aim to move IXPs “Up the Curve!” EPF-7 Malta 17- 19 Sept, 2012#
