Regional Internet Exchange for MENA Countries and its Performance Evaluation

    https://doi.org/10.1142/S0219649203000589Cited by:0 (Source: Crossref)

    In this paper we propose a Regional Internet Exchange (RIX) scheme for MENA countries intra-regional traffic, compared with the existing situation for Internet service provision. The RIX architecture is proposed, implemented, and evaluated using simulation. Simultaneous comparative performance evaluation of Internet service provision for the existing and the proposed scenarios are presented. It is focused to measure utilization, message delays, access time and client perceived latencies performance metrics. The study shows that the proposed scheme results in less international bandwidth utilization and it reduces significantly the access time and most importantly it is inherently cost-effective.
