CIXP: short update • Industry consolidation: some ISP have merged, but the average router size has increased • Industry competition: first non-Cisco router expected soon this year • Gigabit Ethernet demand is coming: first non-CERN connection expected this year Paolo Moroni (Slide 1)
Steady things • Steady growth in WDM equipment installation in the telecom room • Steady growth in traffic • Steady growth in demand for back-to-back peerings and cabling • Steady number of member ISP (mainly because of industry consolidation, but two withdrawals) • Continued successful partnership with Telehouse (Suisse) S.A. Paolo Moroni (Slide 2)
New things • More Gigabit Ethernet capacity (the only price difference is on the installation charge) • Euro-IX has started, with the CIXP as founding member • Interest in IPv6, also from non-research members • New DNS domain cixp.ch • Improvement of the WWW site is ongoing Paolo Moroni (Slide 3)
