Today’s Expanding Threat Landscape:Who & Why

| Akamai Security Summit World Tour | <Location>88

The scale of attacks will continue to grow

An attack of

1.3 Tbps is

enough to cripple

major cloud data

centers, ISPs and

even countries

The next wave of challenges?

● Where is our individual EDGE?

● When do we scale the EDGE?

● Should we interconnect at the EDGE?

● Will we need IXPs at the EDGE?

Peering & Interconnection at the EDGE?

● critical mass in unique traffic to

actually gain a cache hit ratio

● connectivity of the ISP (IP?, DNS?)

● space and power

● access & maintenance

How do we expand the edge?

Interconnection

in Tier 1 and

partially Tier 2

cities.

Expanding to

further Tier 2

IXPs & the EDGE


323

Why do we partner with IXPs?

● market aggregator

● shared capacity to multiple networks

○ no cache-able traffic

○ overflow

○ resilience

○ Events

● neutral interconnection point


424

Future of IXPs

● Focus on Tier 1 & Tier 2 cities

● potential growth perspective into Tier 3

cities

● neutral interconnection point

● Core Functions for non EDGE Traffic

● Resilience for EDGE Traffic

● Potentially Interconnect EDGE Hubs

Takeaways...

1) Where is your individual EDGE?

2) Traffic will scale in the middle mile -will you?

3) Found your very own EDGE strategy yet?
