Issues and Future Directions

Hybrid L2/L3 devices like OSR/7600 present new challenges Risk of incorrect configuration may violate MOU

Future requirement for Jumbo Frames anticipated ISPs currently moving to 4470 or 9192 core MTU

– Peter Lothberg religion at NANOG22: core MTU at least 4470 is a MUST: http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0105/real/iponly.ram

IXPs need to move in step with ISPs to avoid becoming the MTU bottleneck

IPv6 Unicast Exchange VLAN now available: No longer experimental Driven by commercial forces

10GigE: some disruptive price per port is on the horizon :-)

Multicast—still experimental (as usual ;-)

Issues and Future Directions (cont’d)

Internet Core Exchange (ICE)

A natural evolution to more efficient, high-capacity private peering A central, neutral meet-me in major cities avoids

a metro SONET mess^Hh Geared toward folks that have OC48+ backbones

across western, central, and eastern U.S. More than 15 companies in the process of

moving to Equinix ICE peering architecture– Major domestic, international, or global ISPs.

GigE switch port is bundled with the service, ICE participants are free to use this for certain peers

Internet Core Exchange (cont’d)

Architecture is simple, and benefits obvious: You can participate whenever you choose, unlike

metro peering rings which need to be designed up front with participants in mind

Avoids closed rings that limit participation Eliminates requirement for all participants to

adopt the same technology Much faster and more flexible provisioning

– No more local loop facilities issues Much more scalable
