IXP New Operation Models (Business)
New operation models for CAIX to ensure Neutral, Independent, Self-sustaining operation

current regulations10

Pros Cons
License
- 24/7 Support- Ease to expand and deploy of new services-Social impacts (it is business)- Economical impacts
- peering will not be for free- 3rd party peering rules- Competition- Uncertain Neutrality
ISPA
- 24/7 Support- Not-For-Profit (peering free of charge)- No competition (Between ISPs, CDN ??)- No 3rd party rules
- Initiation difficulties- Medium Neutrality
Gov.
- Peering for free of charge- Peering rules based on consensus of members- High Neutrality- No competition
- No 24/7 support- Not self-sustainable- Restrict Regulations - Expansion is difficult
