  2. UK-wide peering? Why?

  3. UK-wide peering? LINX mission: “keep traffic local” Which, from a UK-vs-the-world perspective, LINX has done But there is little or no UK peering outside of London So can we keep traffic more local?

  4. Style of our approach • Use the established LINX membership structure • Respect local ‘ownership need’ • Keep it simple & straightforward • Take the long term view about economic viability • Separate stand-alone exchanges • Not connected back to London

  5. So what have we done? Establishing local viability • 3 Manchester consultations • Northern Ireland consultation • East Midlands consultation • Two Scotland consultations • West Midland/Birmingham consultation Requires a local community of both network content and access providers needs supportive local data centres

  6. IXManchester We launched IXManchester in June 2012 • ~38 members are connected • 11.5Gb/s peek peering traffic • Free lower speed ports, low fee 10GigE ports • Telecity offering it’s customers free xconnects • Expansion to 3 new data centers announced

  7. IXScotland Very successful consultation event Lots of enthusiasm Natural place to start: Pulsant’s South Gyle data centre Expect to be operational soon…

  8. Where next? • This will be demand driven • So needs a local community of interest • We’ve had discussions with many more areas: • East Midlands, Northern Ireland, Liverpool, South East etc. • Perhaps 10 exchanges in the longer term? • Will need local data centre operators…
