Emerging Issues </p>
<p class="">Description</p>
<p>Bandwidth management has been for sometime an evolving concern for
the Internet community around the globe. The rapid introduction of new
Internet applications and services as well as the rapid growth of
Internet-connected devices has created new challenges for the rational
management of the network. Internet Exchange Points - IXPs are a vital
strategy for enhancing the quality of Internet operation. One of the
main advantages of an IXP is the rationalization of costs, since traffic
balances are solved locally and directly between the participants not
involving third-party networks often physically distant. Another
important advantage is better traffic delivery management because data
flows remain as closer as possible to their destination, resulting in
better performance and quality to end users. Research carried out by
CETIC.br has shown that the Brazilian IXP initiative (PTTMetro) yields
up to 30% of savings in transit purchases by ISPs in the country.
Despite the solid evidence and the well known benefits of IXP projects,
the challenge of efectively involving the Autonomous Systems comunity,
endangers the sustainability of the initiatives. The workshop puts
together organizations in charge of IXPs and Autonomous Systems from all
over the World to foster discussion on the challenges to create
sustainable Internet Exchange Point projects in developing nations.</p>
