Hi,

New Zealand's internet infrastructure has always benefited from the open engagement of key operators of this infrastructure with the community. Citylink has (at least in the past) engaged reasonably openly with the community. It is my hope that this will continue.

On that note (and in this spirit of engagement), it would be good to see a detailed response from Citylink to the feedback provided over the last few weeks by the technical community on their proposed implementation of their SDN based internet exchange platform, an aggregate graph of the IX's traffic, and other matters discussed in this thread.

Cheers,
Tim

As an FYI Megaport has been offering SDN-IX and elastic interconnections in Australia since 2013 and expanded into Auckland last year...

Toulouse IX are using Pica8 white boxes which others in NZ have been playing with for a while.

Subject: [nznog] SDN APE, and IX stats from Citylink

��

Greetings,

��

There was some discussion over the last couple of years with the NZNOG community at conferences and on the mailing list about Citylink doing a SDN based IX. This was to include with it Citylink releasing statistics of the aggregated traffic over their IX - a measure (published by most IXs) that many use to decide if it's worth connecting to an IX.

��

Given the public nature of this discussion so far, and the fact that it's died off, can a representative of Citylink please confirm to the list;

��

1/ Is there an intention to move to some sort of SDN driven IX still, and if so what the timeframe for this will be? If this project has been abandoned, how will the IXs be developed in place of this project?

��

2/ Do they have any intention to publish an aggregated traffic on their IXs, and if so what the timeframe for this will be?

��

I am sure many of us in the peering community will be eager to hear the answers to these questions....

��

Cheers,

Hoff
