______________________________________________________________________ DRAFT TRANSCRIPT SIG: IX Date: Thursday 2 March 2006 Time: 4.00pm Presentation: JPIX update Presenter: Takejiro Takabayashi ______________________________________________________________________ CHE-HOO CHENG: Next speaker is Takabayashi-san from JPIX. The speaker after next is Kurtis from Netnod. Please be ready. TAKEJIRO TAKABAYASHI: Good afternoon. My name is Takejiro Takabayashi and I'm representing JPIX today. I was at IX SIG on APNIC 19 in Kyoto and this is update from APNIC 19. I will start from history of JPIX. Actually, we're a commercial IX and there was a need for the commercial IX because there is only one IX, it's an academic IX, and then a couple of major ISPs in Japan got together and made a joint venture and we started out as a commercial with 24-hour support and we have those collocation service and offering cable service within the KDDI Otemachi Building, where I think most of the traffics are in Japan. OK. The services we are offering is that we are offering the ports. We're layer to IX and 10-gigabit ethernet port, fast ethernet and we started out the link aggregation and we don't have any 10GE aggregation - we do have the link aggregation. And service types - remote access. Because we're distributed but there is still not all the customers, the ISPs, have access to our switch data centre, where our switch is located, so we are accepting those ISPs router connection by remotely. It could be dark fibre, ethernet or ATM but ATM is almost gone. And collocation service - it's a rack. We're offering rack service. And we do in-house cabling. And we have a stand-alone IPv6-IX service. It's a service but it's only experimental and we have started this on January 2002. And it's free if you have IPv4 port with us. And there's only FA ethernet for this service. And traffic is not that much. And we have 16 ISPs connected to this switch. And optional service is value added. It's almost like Mr Ishii was saying, almost the same as JPNAP has. We have one difference, I guess, the MLPA with the route server exchanging service which addressed prefixes that connects to our route servers and also we have another type of route server which makes - which gives you the, not statistics, but you can confirm your prefixes which you're announcing matches IRR or not. We have RIPE and RADB replicated and so, once you can make peer with this route server, you can check your prefixes. And we also have NTP server and this traffic statistic graph. And new feature we are presenting is that traffic analysis tool which is called sFlow and it's similar to PeerWatcher of the JPNAP, it's our traffic viewer. It looks something like this (refers to slide). It looks totally similar to JPNAP's. And we have been distributed, extended to some of the sites because of - we could go out and get, since we were only located at Otemachi building, many customers had to have dedicated line or expensive lines to get into the JPIX so we - what we did was to get distributed and it says over here we have five sites right now and two at Nagoya and Osaka. As you can see, JPIX Osaka is stand-alone and other sites are connected with each other. And a couple of sites are link aggregated with 10-gig and a couple are aggregated with gigabit ports. And we use dark fibre connection. And basically network connection - we don't use any STPs or anything. Just a cold standby - no not cold standby, but hot-cold standby. Power is always on but cable is not connected. And this is how it looks (refers to slide) This is a simple diagram - remote access. We used to use those - I don't know what generation they are, but they don't carry 10GbE port and we started using, I think, since September 2003, we started using those 10-gig - I mean, we start offering the 10-gig port with four switches and it's running fine, I guess. Not too much problems. We have seen some. And here's our traffic volume right now. It's only metropolitan area in Nagoya. It's 64-gig right now, as of February 20. And we have number of customers around 110 and portrait yeo is most of the customers are gigE but around 10% are 10-gig. Actually, we have 17 10-gig customers. And that's about it. Any questions? STEPHEN BAXTER: Would there be any traffic in common with the JPNAP presentation before? Is there any commonality in there or are there common peers that would be amongst those bandwidth numbers? TAKEJIRO TAKABAYASHI: You mean this slide? STEPHEN BAXTER: It's probably a question for the other chap from JPNAP as well. Is there commonality between your customers and their customers? TAKEJIRO TAKABAYASHI: I guess so. BILL WOODCOCK: But they're not double-counting. MIKE HUGHES: One thing that's interesting - what's the backend database you're using with that? Is it RRD or something else? TAKEJIRO TAKABAYASHI: For sFlow? It's SQLs. MIKE HUGHES: We found we were being strained by disk IO quite badly. Our network is 15, 16 switches. What sample rate are you using on the switches? TAKEJIRO TAKABAYASHI: Actually, it's doing a very good job. We're using - I forget the number - but 16-something-something. It's doubles, right? MIKE HUGHES: Yeah. It's doubles, right. TAKEJIRO TAKABAYASHI: I forget the exact number but it increases the sampling link can handle. It just often backs up. MIKE HUGHES: So it's not a variable sampling rate? TAKEJIRO TAKABAYASHI: Right now it's not. Actually, our software can figure out. It's not actually it's only a sample so actually it doesn't really matter, actually. CHE-HOO CHENG: Last question. SERGE RADOVCIC: Quick statement. I thought I'd get my plug in for Euro-IX. There's 28 ASNs that appear at JPIX and JPNAP. If you go to the Euro-IX website, you can see those. TAKEJIRO TAKABAYASHI: Thank you, Serge. We joined Euro-IX in February. CHE-HOO CHENG: OK, thank you.
