What we are doing
XchangePoint is building, and will provide and operate: Well funded Neutral State of the art Well managed High capacity and performance Reliable Open Flexible, responsive and customer-focussed
Internet Peering Point (IPP) services in 5-10 European cities in the next 3+ years

Our Differences & Strengths
VC funding for-profit €9M in place now not a membership organisation
Non-restrictive participation
Pan-European
Multiple Co-Location providers’ sites in each city
Fast Provisioning
Neutrality….

XchangePoint’s Neutrality Principles
VC ownership is Neutral
ISP and Carrier Neutral we will not compete with our customers we will not move traffic between cities or countries no exclusive arrangements
CoLo Provider Neutral present at 3 CoLo sites per city partner with multiple CoLo providers as customer choice of CoLo sites for our peering customers no exclusive arrangements
Service provision will be Neutral

Our Implementation Strategy
We have, will and are building IPPs from scratch where there is demand
We want to partner with existing IPPs where possible & appropriate
Service needs of emerging IPP customer communities
Important to keep co-ordination and dialogue channels open in evolving market

Architecture OverviewMetro Area Architecture - London
2 “Core” nodes per city 10 racks 2 Extreme BlackDiamond switches
2 or more “Basic” nodes per city 3-5 racks 2 Extreme Alpine switches
ADVA WDM equipment at all sites
Dark fibre metro ring connecting all sites in city
Gigabit Ethernet between switches and sites

Ethernet Switches
2 Extreme Black Diamond 6808i switches at Core sites
2 Extreme Alpine 3804 switches at Basic sites
Each switch at each site connected to one of two separate wavelength overlay networks
Virtual dual-vendor approach different code on each overlay network’s switches
Dual overlay networks connect at Core nodes maximum flexibility for high bandwidth interconnect within Core

DWDM Node

DWDM Advantages
Bandwidth multiplication
Provides extra resilience optical circuit protection around ring or use inter-switch trunking for each ring path faster fail-over than spanning tree
New services Inter-site Private Interconnect
Improves scalability
Permits multiple logical topologies over single physical MAN
Can conserve switched bandwidth

DWDM Configuration
ADVA system supports 32 protected wavelengths () per fibre ring
Initial configuration 8: 3 for inter-switch backbone connections 1 for R&D/test (e.g. dedicated multicast overlay) 4 can provide up to 12 unprotected private interconnects
Later configurations will exploit multiplexing capability of ADVA equipment:
up to 8x1 Gigabit channels per 10G
Remaining can be used to increase backbone or PI capacity in 1G or 10G increments

Private Interconnect
Copper and Fibre cross-connect available as a service within sites
Can dedicate single DWDM /channel to private interconnect between two high-volume peering customers
Gigabit ethernet, also STM-4, STM-16 options
Protected and unprotected options
-interconnect will be available between ISPs only not available for within a customer’s backbone to avoid competing within
conventional carrier business and maintain our neutrality

Build Status
London nodes mostly complete live and ready for service !
First site Redbus Interhouse Harbour Exchange in London
Telehouse London: Nodes in both North and East buildings
Global Switch London complete early May
DWDM fibre network mid/end June
Redbus Paris late summer

Service Trial
Pilot service available now
Incentives for early adopters
Available until either: 10 trial participants inter-site fibre network lit
2 x 100M or 2 x 1G ports per participant availability subject to capacity at site
Best efforts for now - full SLA at end of trial

Current Customers
Connected now: XO Verio / NTT
Connecting soon: AboveNet C&W / INS
Enquiries from over 30 more ISPs being followed up

Value-Added Services
Cisco 7200 Collector router at each core site
Traffic statistics servers per-customer private stats option
Out-of-band console access Customer dial-in via ISDN30/Cisco 3640
Media converters

Future Services
24x7 pan-European NOC
Multicast traffic exchange banging of switch vendor heads together still needed…
IPv6 mostly just addressing, allocation issues
10G Ethernet between switches 2001 Q3
Start thinking about inter-ISP VoIP interconnect issues
Build team will become R&D team
