G "The Great (Public vs Private) Peering Debate: Peering at 10Gbps" - Bill Norton http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-50/presentations/ripe50-eix-peering-debate.pdf Disucssion: Additional Advantages of Public Peering: 5. (VIX) Peering slut (?!): benefit more from using route servers, for easy management of peering sessions. 6. (AMSIX) Large public peering ports over private connections saves engineers - you set up the peering once, instead of seting-up multiple private ones. 7. (DE-CIX) Redundancy - if you have multiple connections on public peering, and your partners also have multiple connections.. Second port is usually very cheap on most IXPs. A: This model is about only one location; does not take into consideration mulitple locations. 8. Cesnet: The costs are not that high in Enurope. A: I will include those in later version of the spreadsheet. Discussion: Additional Advantages of Private Peering: Maurice from Google: - Over-subscription can be monitored also on the public peering. - You can use both. Keith Mithel: Scaling can be a problem for private peerings. Mike Hughes: People don't have enough back-haul away from the IX. Malcom, Linx: "tapping" possibility would be known much in advance. Maurice, Google: Change in the transition practices: put switches instead of routers into IX. Mike Hughes: Beware using just one or two routers in a metro, can have BGP multipathing problems, leading to convergence problems".

This includes all IXPs that wish to make update presentations on the day. I would prefer that all presenters use the presentation upload facility to push their presentations onto the NCC provided laptop, rather than fiddling around changing laptops on the day. Details on how to upload presentations can be found here: Thanks, Mike -- Mike Hughes Chief Technical Officer London Internet Exchange mike at linx.net http://www.linx.net/ "Only one thing in life is certain: init is Process #1" From mike at linx.net Wed Oct 12 10:27:25 2005 From: mike at linx.net (Mike Hughes) Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 09:27:25 +0100 Subject: [eix-wg] RIPE 51 EIX-WG Agenda Update Message-ID: Hi folks, Here's an update to the agenda for the RIPE 51 EIX Working Group.

It's unlikely we will have time to muck around changing over laptops. If you can't upload to the facility, then put your presentation on a USB flash drive. Note, the upload facility is only accessible from inside the RIPE meeting network.
