What Next?• Deeper traffic Analysis – sFlow,
Netflow, jFlow, IPFIX
• Protocol Analysis
• Application Analysis
• Source and Destination Conversations***
• Security Analysis
Is it the IXP’s Job?

The Con’s• Intellectual Property: Network data is the intellectual property of the
members and an organisational asset.
• Trust: Will the IXP use data unethically?
• Security: Can the IXP securely store the data?
• Spying: Can this be considered as spying?

The Pro’s• Stability: Identify bad traffic on the exchange
• Support: Help troubleshoot
• Strategic introductions: Ensuring the peers obtain maximum value from the exchange
• Visibility: Assist bi-lateral peers
• Security: Detection of security threats
• Marketing: Using data to promote the exchange
• Planning: Capacity planning

The Question?
7
Why would an exchange need that data?
Is it a great value add?
•Resources: Providing smaller peers access to tools?
•Exchange Growth: Keep in touch with who peers are routing to?
