Setting up of Internet Exchanges in Thailand

• First Internet Exchange
• Thailand National Internet Exchange (NIX) was
  first set up by CAT for exchanging domestic
  traffic among Thai ISPs after CAT started
  operating the Internet IIG) service in July 1996
• Major ISPs have at least a 512 kbps link to NIX
  and pay CAT a monthly maintenance fee for the
  service.
• Services Proxy, Domain Name, Newsfeed,
  Customer Support Web

Setting up of Internet Exchanges in Thailand

• Second Internet Exchange
• The ThaiSarn Public Internet Exchange (PIE) was
  set up by NECTEC in November 1997
• It was set up as a peering point for Thai ISPs
  to access public information on the ThaiSarn
  Public access Network (PubNet), a network of
  national servers such as FTP, Web, Gopher, Cache,
  News, Media servers, etc. In addition, it plays a
  significant.
• It plays a significant role as the alternative
  exchange point with CAT's NIX to alleviate the
  single point of failure

Public Internet Exchange (PIE)

• PIE is operated by NTL and located at NECTEC's
  network hub that permits broadband
  interconnection to PubNet, ThaiSarn,
  SchoolNet_at_1509, Kanchanapisek Network, and
  government networks
• In the first year, NECTEC fully subsidizes the
  operating cost including electricity and a rack
  space at PIE. NTL assures that all PIE
  participants are given equal opportunities to
  access all information servers and networks
  connected to NECTEC hub
• In November 1999, PIE was renamed as IIR (
  Internet Information Research).

IIR Next Generation Services

• Thailand s IPv6 Testbed Service
• This project proposes to research ways to ease
  the transition to IPv6 for the Thai RD community
  and by extension the commercial networking
  community.
• Mbone Service
• Multicast Backbone will be connected to IIR. All
  members can connect to Mbone and use the
  multimedia applications such as video conference
  on Mbone.
• Access Grid
• Thailand Grid implementation project will focus
  on sharing resources, increasing resource
  utilizations, and improving the ability to
  collaborate. The preliminary focus on our part is
  to create some applications that make use of
  Grid.
