Tiscali Offers LINX To Overseas ISPs
Posted: 31st Oct, 2003 By: MarkJ
Tiscali International Network, the carrier arm of pan-European and UK ISP Tiscali, has developed a way for overseas providers to create a 'virtual' presence at the London Internet Exchange (LINX):
TISCALI INTERNATIONAL NETWORK PROVIDES ACCESS TO LINX FOR OVERSEAS ISPs
Tiscali International Network, the carrier arm of Tiscali, the European Internet Company, is offering Service Providers and Carriers throughout the world a service which creates a 'virtual' presence at the London Internet Exchange (LINX).
Tiscali's IP-Flow service provides a private point-to-point Ethernet connection on the company's international Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network. The Tiscali layer 2 service allows customers to peer at LINX with no need to deploy any local routing equipment.
This type of virtual presence at the exchange allows networks to meet the requirements for LINX membership.
Membership gives them access to LINX's high-capacity switching and routing equipment at eight London sites. This enables them to exchange traffic directly with 140 other ISPs and content delivery service providers (CDSPs) which are already members of LINX, bringing speed and efficiency benefits to their customers.
Tiscali's IP-Flow service is cheaper than buying IP Transit and delivers improved performance because it allows IP networks to increase traffic exchanged over direct peering connections. It is also more cost effective than using leased lines as it is billed on a per-usage basis and avoids any capital investment in local routing. Service Providers and Carriers can initially buy a limited amount of bandwidth from Tiscali and upgrade this over time as the volume of traffic increases.
LINX sales and marketing manager Vanessa Evans said: "For ISPs seeking to cut the costs of transit into the UK, and from there to the rest of the world, LINX membership offers real benefits. More than 90 per cent of the Internet traffic exchanged between ISPs in the UK passes through LINX and more than 50 per cent of the world's Internet routes are directly accessible from the exchange."
