What is RIPE Labs

bull Itrsquos a website but more importantly- It is a platform and a tool for the community- Launched in Sept 2009 constantly developed

bull You can- Test and evaluate new tools and prototypes- Contribute new ideas and research results- Provide feedback and discuss with others

What Do We See at an IXP

bull It depends on- Who is participating at the IXP- Private interconnect vs public peering over the IXP

peering LAN (we only see traffic volumes of the latter)

- Is end user to content distribution traffic traversing the IXP or not

12

Thursday October 4 2012

Typical Patterns during Match (1)

bull Double dip during first and second half- GIGAPIX Portugal vs Netherlands

13

Thursday October 4 2012

Typical Patterns during Match (2)- AMS-IX First match NL vs Denmark- AMS-IX Second match Germany vs Portugal

14

Thursday October 4 2012

Typical Patterns during Match (3)

- Double bump (traffic increase of around 90)- Samara-IX Spain vs Croatia and Ireland vs Italy

15

Thursday October 4 2012

Typical Patterns during Match (4)- INEX Ireland vs Italy- Irelands last match of series- This was record peak traffic at INEX (34 Gbps)

16

Thursday October 4 2012

Other Interesting Patterns

bull Semi-final Spain-Portugal with penalties- Triple dip at GIGAPIX (Portugal) [Spain won]

17

Olympic Games 2012 (1)

bull Expected different patterns due to different spread of events during Olympics

bull More difficult to identify typical pattern

bull Events took place both during office hours and in the evenings

bull We could correlate certain patterns in traffic with certain popular sport events during Olympics

19

Thursday October 4 2012

Olympic Games 2012 (2)

bull We took multiple samples of weekly snapshots of the IXP traffic patterns

bull On the same day of the week both one and two weeks before the event took place

bull On the same day of the week both one and two weeks after the event

RIPE Atlas Measurements

bull How much traffic is exchanged at the IXPs

bull IPv4-traceroute to wwwbbccouk from 161 RIPE Atlas probes located in the UK

- for 28 probes traceroute went through LONAP- for 55 probes traceroute went through LINX- the other half (78 probes) took other routes

bull Gives an idea what we measure when looking at IXP traffic levels

26

Thursday October 4 2012

Main Conclusions

bull Great collaboration amp participation - by Euro-IX IXPs- by RIPE Labs participants

bull Major sporting events seem to be having a greater impact on IXP traffic volumes

bull Discovered typical pattern for football matches

bull Despite big peaks at times Internet can cope

bull Good exercise for other major events- Can we find patterns for certain events

RIPE Atlas Measurements

bull How much traffic is exchanged at the IXPs

bull IPv4-traceroute to wwwbbccouk from 161 RIPE Atlas probes located in the UK

- for 28 probes traceroute went through LONAP- for 55 probes traceroute went through LINX- the other half (78 probes) took other routes

bull Gives an idea what we measure when looking at IXP traffic levels

26

Thursday October 4 2012

Main Conclusions

bull Great collaboration amp participation - by Euro-IX IXPs- by RIPE Labs participants

bull Major sporting events seem to be having a greater impact on IXP traffic volumes

bull Discovered typical pattern for football matches

bull Despite big peaks at times Internet can cope

bull Good exercise for other major events- Can we find patterns for certain events

Main Conclusions

bull Great collaboration amp participation - by Euro-IX IXPs- by RIPE Labs participants

bull Major sporting events seem to be having a greater impact on IXP traffic volumes

bull Discovered typical pattern for football matches

bull Despite big peaks at times Internet can cope
