I lately had the pleasure of not solely attending the 2022 European Peering Discussion board, but additionally presenting my very own replace on interconnection geography.
Unsurprisingly, there was quite a bit to cowl. A full 47 slides, to be actual.
Listed here are some highlights from my presentation.
International Worldwide Bandwidth Developments
On this part, I lined new developments in submarine cable deployment, in addition to worldwide bandwidth development, forecasts, and pricing.
European Worldwide Bandwidth Developments
Subsequent, I shifted gears to give attention to Europe. (It was the European Peering Discussion board, in any case.)
I lined submarine cable landings, development and traits of intra-European networks, in addition to development and traits of networks connecting to Europe.
A number of quick information in terms of subregional capability related to Europe:
- Complete Africa-Europe connectivity has hovered round 80% for the previous 5 years.
- North Africa’s worldwide connectivity is nearly 100% to Europe, whereas Sub-Saharan Africa’s share of connectivity to Europe has dropped to about 60%.
European Pricing Traits
I additionally shared some graphs highlighting:
- Weighted median costs for 10 Gbps wavelengths on key European routes
- Weighted median 100 GigE IP transit costs in Europe
- 10 GigE and 100 GigE IP transit costs throughout European markets
Fast View of IX, CDN, and Cloud Knowledge Middle Development
On this part, I confirmed IX presence, CDN international distribution, CDN geography, and the cloud knowledge middle panorama.
Traits We’re Monitoring
To conclude my presentation, I famous the traits we’re monitoring as we glance forward at European development.
For instance, inside Europe, we see new development southward and eastward. And Europe continues to develop as a hub (in capability, if not share).
