What did KINX do?
Suggested local peering + Transits for Fault Tolerance configuration and cost savings
KINX suggested Hansol NexG, a professional security company to local peering + duplicate Transits for Fault Tolerance configuration and cost savings.
KINX is the only local peering service provider in Korea; about 40 members including major ISPs, SOs, CPs are peered at 895G backbone network at KINX IDCs. Allowing domestic ISPs, SOs and CPs to directly exchange Internet traffic without any charges, peering is much more cost-effective than using transits. 17% of the eyeballs in Korea (around 3 millions) uses the Internet through KINX.
Transits can be purchased by any ISPs and installed in either domestic or global places. Thus, it is doable to purchase more than 2 transits from multiple ISPs for optimized routing path.
Effect
Duplication of network can prevent unexpected errors
NexG configured its network by using KINX’s Transits for fault tolerance configuration and by using KINX’s local peering for cost savings. One of the strengths of using KINX service is that unexpected errors can be managed promptly and shortly announced to customers. Also, customers using duplicate transits can re-rout to other optimized paths and also other ways to duplicate network structures.
