PRIX update
Hello NANOG Little bit less than 19 years ago when PRIX was launched I had a dream to connect many ISPs in the island. during last 19 years several attempts were made to relaunch an IX but finally last three years a small group of volunteers have really helped PRIX to be come a reality not an IX with PowerPoint and no traffic. You can hear the story from those who have significantly helped from project here https://www.youtube.com/live/kCp4kK-mavU?si=N82CGRSatdzrmX2H This week there is Global Peering Forum in Puerto Rico, and I as one of the old time nanoger + local(i dont live here anymore but, you know what i mean want to welcome and send this update about PRIX https://www.puertoricoix.net has broken traffic record 30Gbps last week and with some more caches in the process of being enabled as well as some key peers (listed on the website), next goal is 100G and this can be achieved with those of you who has an ability to help deploy more caches in Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷 I want to take a moment thank Jeff, Ivan, and Gino for all the hard work behind. If you are attending GPF this week, let’s talk and see what else we can do to improve internet in Puerto Rico and Caribbean! Any questions related to PRIX feel free to contact me offlist Mehmet Note: all links below are broken 😞 PRIX - Puerto RIco Internet Exchange - *From:* Mehmet Akcin - *Date:* Tue Sep 27 12:50:12 2005 -- Hi, I'd like to speak with people who were / are working in IX points and/or have knowledge about the infrastructure of IX points. We , a small group of researchers , have started a Project called Prix [http://prix.uprr.pr ] which has the intentions of creating a large table for those who would like to sit down, in other terms an internet exchange point where all the participants can peer. Our main goal is to improve the existing connectivity between the major backbone providers and improve the connectivity between them with peering locally instead of peering somewhere in the states, which is couple of thousands miles far from Puerto Rico. We believe improving the network connectivity of the island will definately led those who live in Puerto Rico to think of using VoIP technologies more often. We, myself and a friend of mine who is also participating in this project, will be participating in NANOG and hopefully can meet with those who has experience in order to get recommendations about hardware/software and policies. Thank you Mehmet Akcin, PRIX
PRIX
Hey there as the first bits started flowing through PRIX, I wanted to give a few exciting updates. Current peer lists can be found https://www.peeringdb.com/ix/2353 One of the major social media companies who have a presence in PR has committed to join PRIX. We have also started a slack channel to have better communication with onsite (in PR) people and remote folks to collaborate. You can join the slack https://join.slack.com/t/puertoricoix/shared_invite/enQtODcyMTY4ODEzMTI0LTc0NzgzNjIwNjI4MDFkNzY5NzFkNGUyNGY3NDhjOTNkZWM1Mjc4NmEwMTg1NWRkODcyZTY3NmJmOTEwZTA4MTU not much traffic yet but here is an attached traffic exchange graph.
