NANOG Meeting Presentation Abstract

ISP Interconnection and its Impact on Consumer Internet Performance
Meeting:	NANOG63
Date / Time:	2015-02-04 3:00pm - 3:30pm
Room:	Salon I
Presenters:	Speakers: Collin Anderson, Measurement Lab Collin Anderson is a Washington D.C.-based researcher at Measurement Lab, focused on measurement of the Internet connectivity, including consumer performance and access restrictions, with an emphasis on the application of public data and open methodologies. With open research and cross-organizational collaboration, these efforts have included applying big data to shed new light on complex issues of how business relationships at the core of the Internet have affected end-user access. Through M-Lab this work has extend into the role of promoting well-informed public policy discourse and producing information to allow users to better understand their access to the Internet.
Abstract:	While interconnection is a core principle of the Internet and a core element of the network operator community, the role of interconnection health and traffic management practices in end consumer performance has remained opaque to users, policymakers, and researchers alike, based on the complexities of conducting measurement at scale. Measurement Lab’s research on interconnection performance has exposed episodes of persistent congestion across multiple Access ISPs and Transit ISPs over the past three years. These incidents lead to substantial degradation of end-user connectivity that have been quantified and detailed through the substantial performance data made available through M-Lab. This presentation will extend and update a preliminary introduction given before the Cooperative Working Group at RIPE69 in November, concentrating more on the technical findings of the study and discussing the toolkit released concurrently with the report. Moreover, we will further elaborate on research conducted since its release, including discovery of prioritization regimes as a third-party to the underlying network relationship. In reviewing the methodology designed to assess these large-scale network performance trends exposed in the interconnection study, we will elaborate on the open datasets and tools that M-Lab has made available to interested researchers. This presentation will also offer an update on new developments with M-Lab, including new tests, and provide an introduction to the platform as a public resource for the network operator community, providing opportunities for performance diagnostics and quality of service monitoring.
