Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) are critical components of today’s Internet, as they handle a substantial share of global traffic and enable efficient interconnection among networks. At the heart of their operation are Route Servers (RS), which simplify public peering by allowing Autonomous Systems (ASes) to establish a single BGP session with the RS. However, a key challenge of BGP is its trust-based route sharing, which introduces vulnerabilities that can be exploited to hijack or disrupt tra…
An overview of IP interconnection regulation that may appear in the European Commission's upcoming Digital Networks Act, and its possible impacts on the IP interconnection ecosystem.
Route servers are the most important service (other than moving packets itself) on an internet exchange fabric, however in most exchanges they are not mandatory.
This talk aims to answer the question of how effective route servers are and distributing routes to many networks, using the large internet exchange deployment footprint of the bgp.tools route collector network.
How do we know when an IXP is working well? What goals should it achieve, and can success be measured in the same way everywhere? Our latest report examines the current state of Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) in South East Europe (SEE) and their role in improving connectivity in the region.
