  1. Case Studies AFIX Decision-makers’ Workshop Session 2

  2. Outline of Content • Mozambique - MOZIX • Kenya - • South Africa - JINX • Lessons AFIX Decision-makers' Workshop: Session 2

  3. MOZIX • Handling local traffic today • Option A: Bypassing ISPs • Option B: Bi-lateral peering • Option C: The IXP AFIX Decision-makers' Workshop: Session 2

  4. Kenya • ISP Models • Divided into segments based on international bandwidth (Mbps): big and small ISPs have different issues and sometimes different costs • Local-to-local traffic is the key opportunity to save $$: what % of overall traffic stays local? (Average in Africa = 30%) • Bandwidth cost: $ per Mbps international and local AFIX Decision-makers' Workshop: Session 2

  5. South Africa - JINX • Scenarios – Setting Up • Uses data from ISP Models worksheet • 4 possible scenarios for comparison • Indicate # of ISPs of each size that are in your market. • Indicate # of those ISPs who choose to participate in an IXP • Change any global variables to suit your market AFIX Decision-makers' Workshop: Session 2

  6. Access: the ability for ISPs to connect to the IXP using cost effective means, and the ability for ISPs to obtain secure access to the IXP Infrastructure: the capability of the infrastructure – environmental (secure, cool and with reliable backup power), switch and router (where route server is used) - to scale. Although the location may be best suited to be at one of the peers, until an IXP becomes mature, the governance of the IXP is best to be neutral in order to ensure sustainability. Common Lessons AFIX Decision-makers' Workshop: Session 2

  7. Conclusion • IXPs bring ISP's together (although the sales people compete, technical and management people co-operate). This is widely recognised as a critical success factor in the information society. Exchanging of ideas allows for the local Internet to adopt some (sane) practises that promote a more stable Internet. Working as a group (strength through unity) allows the group to (favourably) influence (petition) government/telecommunications type organisations. AFIX Decision-makers' Workshop: Session 2
