⚠️⚠️⚠️ #Internet #DataCenters #IXP ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Hey everyone Adam Simmons here from Dgtl Infra, short for Digital Infrastructure. The internet is a collection of numerous independent networks, interconnected to form what is known as a “network of networks”.

Users on different networks communicate with each other through interconnection between these different networks. Indeed, a data center provides a physical location where the interconnection of these networks can occur.

This physical location is known as an Internet Exchange Point (IXP) and the data centers where these Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) are located are often called Interconnection Hubs.

I love how something so complicated is explained so nicely

I love this video so much, and this channel as well. Severely underrated and very informative.

For a regional ISP, will being a member of an Internet Exchange only give them access to other Exchange participants or would they also be able to access transit services from Tier 1 ISP's that are also part of the Exchange?

Superb video. Learned about IXPs, NAPs, peering, co-los... great stuff.

Thanks for getting straight to the point

Quick question. So through one of these internet exchanges points, are you only able to connect to the other providers services that are located in the same point, or does it allow for access to the whole internet, but lower latency for the service providers that are there?

Thanks for the great video!

So I have a question. what is the difference (if any) between Network Access Point and Internet Exchange and is Network Access point still used?

[TechxGremlin]

So it sounds like these are buildings are required for connecting the entire world from an internet standpoint.

Question 1, if there are 400 hundred providers at a single location I would assume all 400 have to get their connections routed to this 1 building, that seems like a massive project. How is that possible and structured?

Question 2, shouldn't these buildings be secured like fort Knox as they pose an entry point into massive networks of multiple networks, example access to AT&T and Comcast Networks etc...

Very good video! Investing into equinix

[seaglass]

Excellent video! Thank you for making it so simple

Do IXPs located in different countries connect directly with each other (I'm assuming through those submarine cables that appear in many documentaries about the internet) or are there other mediators between them? And are IXPs located in the same region/country also connected with each other or just ISPs and content providers connect to these points?

Ok then what is a Point of Presence (PoP) ? If you have a video of that please point me to one.
