3 TIPS GLOBAL INTERNET TRAFFIC GROWTH IP traffic to reach zettabyte (10 21 bytes) 2016 and 2 zettabytes by Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) carry 70% of Internet traffic by /3 of all IP traffic will originate from non-pc devices by 2019 Global Internet traffic in 2019 will be equivalent to 66 times the volume of Y2005. # of devices connected to IP networks will be more than 3 times the global population by Broadband speeds will more than double by 2019 will reach 42.5 Mbps/user IP video traffic will be 80 % of all IP traffic by 2019 Mobile data traffic will increase 10-fold between 2014 and 2019 Source: CISCO Visual Networking Index Regional Cable System & IX - KDIPA Mar 9 3

22 Peering Private/Local Peering: (ISPs within a country) Two ISPs agree to provide access to each others customers commonly no money exchanges settlement free simple commercial agreements Public Peering: Internet Peering Point ( IX or IXP ) multiple parties connect to shared switched fabric commonly Ethernet /Gig based open, many-to-many connectivity Regional Cable System & IX - KDIPA Mar 9 22

23 Local Internet Exchanges Global Internet ISP- A ISP-B IPX Downstream Customers Regional Cable System & IX - KDIPA Mar 9 23

24 IXP Approach Single large pipe to the IXP more efficient than many smaller pipes to many ISPs Old Peering Model New Peering Model ISP ISP ISP ISP ISP IXP ISP ISP ISP ISP ISP ISP = Internet Service Provider IXP = Internet exchange Point

25 Why Do We Need an Internet Exchange? Keeps domestic traffic within a country/region without having to take indirect international route Typically 20-35% of traffic can be domestic Reduced bandwidth costs Improved throughput and latency performance Commercial basis of traffic exchange between ISPs across IXP usually via costsaving peering, or usage based. Critical mass of ISPs in a single location creates competitive market in provision of capacity, transit and services..\..\videos\internet_happens_arabic.mp4 Regional Cable System & IX - KDIPA Mar 9 25

29 Kuwait AS A TRANSIT & IX HUB THE OPPORTUNITY GCC & SEA traffic by 2016 reaching 45 Terra (45,000 Gig) around 90% is passing through Egypt Iran is not an option Off-load Sub-marine capacity during outages Terrestrial cable ring is preferred by global carriers & Telcos Reduce network latency: 10K Km vs 5K Km (from 120ms to 80ms) Rather than passing through Egypt, go through Kuwait/Iraq Provide more domestic capacity: To accommodate future growth on demand Complement fiber roll out throughout Kuwait Reduce cost on ISPs & end users Enhance customer experience Create Kuwait as transit hub in the region New revenue stream to GDP Regional Cable System & IX - KDIPA Mar 9 29
