Definitions PoP Topologies
• Core routers
• PoP – Point of Presence high speed trunk connections
Physical location of ISP’s equipment • Distribution routers
Sometimes called a “node” higher port density, aggregating network edge to the network
core
• vPoP – virtual PoP • Access routers
To the end user, it looks like an ISP location high port density, connecting the end users to the network
In reality a back hauled access point • Border routers
connections to other providers
Used mainly for consumer access networks
• Service routers
• Hub/SuperPoP – large central PoP
hosting and servers
Links to many PoPs • Some functions might be handled by a single router

Public Interconnect Point Public Interconnect Point
• Purpose:
ISP 1 ISP 4
Collects all the routes heard from ISPs at the IXP and
sends them to all ISPs at the IXP
• Advantages:
IXP ISP 5
ISP 2 reduces resource burden on border routers (CPU, memory,
configuration complexity)
reduces administrative burden on providers
• Purpose:
Collects all the routes heard from ISPs at the IXP ISP 1 ISP 4
• Advantages
Allows IXP participants to see destinations available at the
IXP
IXP ISP 5
Useful for troubleshooting, information, “IXP Marketing” ISP 2
• Disadvantages
Needs to be maintained, but not critical to IXP operation
Information is only as good as that which ISPs send to it ISP 3 ISP 6
• Basically a Route Server without the ability to send
routing information to participant ISPs Route Server/Collector

IP Addressing
• Internet is classless
• Concept of Class A, class B or class C is no more
engineers talk in terms of prefix length, for example the
class B 158.43 is now called 158.43/16.
