subject: [AusNOG] Google now peering with WAIX


Not sure if it is well known, but it seems that Google is now Peering with WAIX. (I think they have been Peering with PIPE for some time now also)

As we have a 100mbps peer with WAIX, and our Staff do a significant amount of traffic to Google (Google Maps specifically) this is awesome news for us and our external bandwidth costs. I’m sure that other smaller organisations are excited by this, and even some of the bigger ones who currently push Google traffic (such as Youtube etc) across to the country.

GoogleがWAIXに登場、Peering開始してるよ、というメール。
Googleのような巨大コンテンツ企業が各IXに足を出してくれると中小のISPは助かる。
YoutubeのTrafficのせいで上流ISPへ払う従量制課金が増えて収益悪化なんてよくある
話しなので。
あとはGmail、Googleカレンダーなんかは主要インフラになりつつあるので耐障害性の意味でも重要。
