Abstract:
Internet Exchange or IX is an Inter connection between ISPs in
Bangladesh intended to keep local traffic local. There are over 70 ISPs in
Bangladesh, which are providing Internet service to the customers. However
there are only about 15 ISPs that are connected with IX. If all the ISPs are
connected with IX then we can prevent the loss of huge bandwidth, minimize the
cost, and promote better and faster Internet service to the customers. Our project
would include study of the amount of local traffic vs. foreign traffic. It would then
work out the benefits of keeping local traffic local. We would study the work of
BTRC, ISPs, SDNP and BIDS. We would invite members of the ISP Association
and show the results of our study. Output of the project would be individual ISP
benefits, national benefits and possible recommendations for BTRC.
