Explain the term “Rise of Private Networks”.
Large cloud and content providers have built their own high capacity networks to connect strategically important locations like datacenters or interconnection points
Reduction of reliance on the public best-effort internet
Results in more fuctionality, better performance & improved customer experience and better evolvability
The public internet lacks of such dynamism -> functional and innovational disparities rise
Explain how the Internet Ecosystem evolved.
Topological innovations like IXPs or CDNs and the localization of network traffic and ressources
Moving servers thus content closer to end-users and devices
Large cloud and content providers have built private backbone networks to connect strategically important locations
Next-generation mobile access technology (5G and 6G)
Explain the 3 different cloud structures, why this development is desirable.
Desirable because of
a better performance and reliability -> improved customer experience
reduced latencies of signal transmission or protocoll inefficiencies
Explain the virtual/network distance by using the differences in “hops”.
Describes the number of networks borders (hops) a datapacket needs to traverse between two communication endpoints
“Cut out the middlemen”, shortened delivery chain to strategically reduce or avoid coordination problems and congested interconnections
Explain the term “remote peering”.
Remote peering (RP): When a network peers at an IXP without having physical presence in the IXP’s infrastructure and/or through a reseller.
