IXP market players interviewed by ComNews said they were happy with the year.
Alexey Zakrevsky said that in 2023, the peak load increased to 6.8 Tbit/s, and the total number of autonomous networks included in DATAIX also increased. 581 ASNs are available for peering.
"We must not forget about the germany whatsapp number database development of our backbone network, which significantly affects the attractiveness of the DATAIX service. Over the past year, we launched new points in Nizhny Novgorod, and also organized a DWDM ring on the Ufa - Yekaterinburg - Chelyabinsk section," added Alexey Zakrevsky.
The number of MSK-IX clients by the end of the year exceeds 800 organizations, and the maximum peak traffic in the network is more than 5.7 Tbit/s. The company also increased the number of tools for protecting participants of the traffic exchange platform from DDoS attacks, reformatted and improved services on the DNS platform. Together with JSC Synterra Media, the Medialogistika terrestrial television signal delivery platform was expanded to the Medialogistika 2.0 project - operators can connect to it in more than 80 cities of the country with a population of more than 100 thousand people.
Egor Drobyshev is also pleased with the results of the year and spoke about the growth of traffic. At the end of 2022, the traffic volume at the exchange point was about 200 Gbit/s, and now it is about 300 Gbit/s (total traffic on the ports of all participants at the peak). "At those exchange points where development is underway - like ours - traffic is growing faster than the IP transit market on intercity routes. This is despite the fact that in 2023, traffic growth at our exchange point was due to resources other than Google. Our Google node has reached its peak return, and since the node is not developing, traffic from it is not growing, while participants receive more traffic from Google from IP transit," said Egor Drobyshev.
What trends await the market in 2024
Market representatives and experts interviewed by ComNews mainly point to adaptation to new legislation, namely, to the operation of the lawNo. 1214072-7"On Amendments to the Federal Law "On Communications". "In 2024, we expect tightening of control by legislative bodies - in particular, with regard to the installation of TSPU on all networks, changes in procurement and forms of TSPU and possible other initiatives from the legislative side," said Kirill Stroganov.
Market representatives also predict that prices will level out among companies: fewer and fewer players will dump. "Now a potential peering participant will focus more on the unique "features" of the IXP, rather than on the cost of the service. I am sure that colleagues will invest more in marketing, highlighting their advantages," says Alexey Zakrevsky.
"Communication operators are starting to take steps to increase tariffs in the B2C segment. Despite the fact that there is no trend towards increasing prices in the B2O segment yet, companies that previously pursued a dumping policy will now be forced to increase prices to the market level. Now it will be very difficult for discounters to work in the B2O market, since the cost of services of the operator itself with all the necessary licenses, fulfilling all legislative norms, is increasing. Therefore, prices for services will also level out," says Evgeny Morozov.
Egor Drobyshev predicts that the new year will be characterized by old trends: the influence of Google and the gradual transfer of this traffic to IP transit with the abandonment of the GGC program in Russia; the development of Russian resources and services; the growth of new market players, telecom operators who are actively developing outside of large cities - they grow, develop their infrastructure, acquire AS and IP addresses, join several uplinks and come to the exchange point.
Kirill Stroganov assumes that the localization of telecom operator networks will continue and the even distribution of traffic will be maintained, with small increases and surges.
