The development mode of China's Exchange center needs to be repositioned to create an interconnected ecological system between Internet networks

The rise of the

Since 2000, the Exchange Centre has entered the development phase, with the number of European exchange centres reaching 138, with an annual increase of nearly 500 Exchange centre members, at a rate of over 13% per cent. The flow of the Exchange center increased year in, 2008 Ams-ix Exchange flow has reached 600Gbps. During the development period, the switching center has been interconnected by providing all ISPs and transformed into a major flow exchange place for small ISP, ICP and CDN. Take Ams-ix and Linx switching Center For example, Ams-ix Tire1 ISP17, port bandwidth 548Gbps, the proportion of 7.2%;linx Tire1, port bandwidth 543Gbps, the proportion of only 8.7%. The diversification of the needs of the members of the
will require a more flexible interconnection approach by the switching centre. To this end, the Exchange center derived open multilateral peer-to-peer exchange, unilateral peer-to-peer exchange, transfer interconnection and other means. In addition to basic interconnection, server hosting services, enhanced user performance technologies (such as receptacle configured Hubs, creator configured Node, Closed user Group) are common offerings in the switching center.
Foreign Internet Exchange centers are mostly built by neutral third parties, to provide participants with interface bandwidth access to the Internet Exchange Center, there are two operating modes of profitability and non-profit, the profit-making Internet Exchange Center is operated and maintained by a professional team, non-profit organizations by the scientific research institutions in the Government's funding to achieve day-to-day operation and maintenance. Foreign Internet Exchange Center access members include telecommunications operators, ISPs, ICP, financial institutions, scientific research institutions. In recent years, vertical industries have also entered the switching center area, such as companies, digital media, IT services, cloud services, mobile computing, and continue to expand to digital media, social media, gaming companies. Content quotient is more and more important in the Exchange center. Members of the Global clearinghouse for statistics show that 5 of the top 10 access switching centers are Internet content providers. The richness of the participants has become an important indicator for attracting members to the Exchange center.
At present, China's Internet Exchange Center has the government background, has the neutrality, but the participant is limited to has the Internet backbone Network unit, these network units the direct connection bandwidth and the direct connection place already is richer, therefore the Exchange Center's demand and the function in our country is not obvious. Reference to the Internet development experience, the Exchange Center can promote the good development of the internet industry. Our country Exchange Center can reposition the development mode, as a beneficial supplement of direct linking way, build our country Internet network interconnection ecosystem and development environment. First of all, we need to expand the Access object, and widely connect the enterprises with ICP, ISP and CDN to the interconnection service. Secondly, in order to attract all kinds of enterprises and institutions, need to be in business charges,To explore and improve the ways and types. Lower than the current small and medium-sized Internet enterprises multiple line access costs and quality assurance of access services, is to attract enterprises to the main means of entry. Attract enterprises to join, the Exchange center with the development of IDC, for users to enhance network performance and other value-added services, will lead the Exchange center gradually towards a stable development.
