“…They are to a small degree providing transit (in the sense of access to content providers), hosting neither small nor high-volume domains or connecting the IT industry. This latter group are so called Eyeball ISPs (33). We do not fully adhere to the tail ISP and the expectation this abbreviation raise, but acknowledge the established vocabulary within the community.…”

ABSTRACT The conceptual framework for understanding the logical Internet is based on the construction of a horizontal, layered architecture, which differentiates between physical-, data link-, network-, transport-, and application layers (1). This is different from the telecommunication networks model where a new service traditionally used to require a new network architecture to be established (2). However, the digitalization of services and products offered over the telecom infrastructure allows us to observe an emergent phenomenon of increased vertical integration on the Internet as well as the creation of further service specialization opportunities for telecom operators and users (3). We propose in this paper that this development and 2 change in the way services are provided, leads to a new type of Internet -an addition to the current best effort Internet. This paper presents the case study of the Internet in Norway, analysing 166 of the approximately 40.000 independent AS numbers registered worldwide as catering for end-to-end services. The paper categorizes the Norwegian AS numbers according to size and type of services. Terms of use: Documents inThrough our analyses two major groups of actors can be identified, each of them seeking to gain strategic advantage from the current Internet traffic growth: 1) Content providers and hosts seek to have a highly reliable network access with a minimal set of traffic or transmission costs. One action is to acquire AS numbers and use settlement-free peering agreements for distribution of their traffic, which is possible in traffic exchange regimes rooted in symmetry, slowly becoming asymmetric; 2) Internet access providers (IAPs) seek to take control over incoming traffic growth by hosting content within their own network and thereby to rebalance traffic and create new revenue streams with content hosting and premium end-to-end connection on-net. Our findings support the hypothesis that Internet is becoming both more vertically integrated and converged, and more specialized or modularized (4).

“…Jungimasis priklauso nuo AS galimybių pasiekti internetą ir nuo noro būti pasiekiamam iš išorės, kai tuo tarpu techninės galimybės nėra pirmaeilės. Tuo tarpu kai duomenų srautai keičiasi, media turinio apimtys ženkliai padidėjo lyginant su 2000 metais dominavusiu duomenų tipu tarp galinių taškų (Hall 2011). Atsitiktinė tarptinklinių jungčių infrastruktūros veikla ne visada gali adekvačiai akumuliuoti duomenų srautus.…”

“…Connections between networks -whether they are transit, or settlement-free peering or paid peering agreements -are strongly driven by business interests since most of the Autonomous Systems (ASes) are commercial. As such, ASes like network or service providers (and virtually any enterprise dependent on the quality of their Internet connectivity for business operations) must make informed decisions when planning with whom to interconnect [6,14,20]. Interconnection directly influences how traffic is routed across the Internet.…”

We tackle the problem of enabling Autonomous Systems to evaluate network providers on the basis of their adherence to Service Level Agreements (SLAs) regarding interconnection agreements. In current Internet practices, choices of interconnection partners are driven by factors such as word of mouth, personal relationships, brand recognition and market intelligence, and not by proofs of previous performance. Given that Internet eXchange Points provide increasingly more peering choices, rudimentary schemes for picking interconnection partners are not adequate anymore.Although the current interconnection ecosystem is shrouded in confidentiality, our key observation is that recently-emerged blockchain technology and advances in cryptography enable a privacy-preserving decentralized solution based on actual performance measurements. We propose the concept of SLA score to evaluate network providers and introduce a privacypreserving protocol that allows networks to compute and verify SLA scores.
