6. 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 Teleglobe’s (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?

7. 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

8. 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 we’ll 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

10. 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
