International Peering

• Three broad Internet Regions
• Americas
• Europe / Middle East / Africa (EMEA)
• Asia / Pacific
• Global/regional/local Peering benefits your
  customer base
• Increase number of ASNs directly connected to
  yours
• Reduce the number of ASNs traversed in the AS
  PATH
• Reduce RTT with closest exit (limit the
  tromboning effect)
• Save on backbone cost
• Current APAC Peers of Teleglobes (AS6453)
  network
• Connections are located in Hong Kong
• Majority of connections on the US West Coast
• Why the US West Coast?
• Is this a problem?

Why peer APAC networks in USA?

• APAC networks have own and operate large backbone
  links to the US west coast
• To peer Americas / EMEA networks
• To reduce their transit cost
• APAC networks are collocated at west coast
  Internet exchanges and carrier hotels
• Cost effective
• Fast and easy implementation
• For an Americas customer base, peering in US
  provides you direct connectivity
• Why not peer in Asia?
• Retain your customer base by providing
  predicatable quality (latency, packet delivery,
  RTT) in the region.
• Avoid Transpac tromboning

APAC Peering requirements

• Meet the peering policy of your target peers !!!
• Typically a large transpac backbone (STM-4 or
  STM-16)
• An intra-APAC backbone touching n countries (n
  ? 3)
• Sizable traffic volume (hundreds of Megs)
• Balanced Ratios
• Peering Challenges in APAC
• Regional protectionism (yes well peer but not in
  our backyard)
• Subsea/terrestrial cable facilities availability
  and cost (3 times the transat cost)
• Lack of collocated facilities causing distance
  peering (matched half circuit)

9
Business Case

• Transpac ring example, with current lease prices
• If you own some IRUs, your cost/M decreases
• Not factored in colocation cost/capex/amortisation
  add another 10-13/M
• To be fair, you should allocate 50 to your
  Americas BB, 50 to your APAC BB

Key to success

• Customers !!!
• Location, location, location
• Analyse customer presence
• Analyse peer presence
• Know your traffic/ routes
• Understand customer and peer traffic
  flows/patterns
• Build your business case
• Revenue
• Opex
• Capex
• Target you peers
• Make contact
