What is MSK-IX peering?

Question

Computer networks

I went to the MSK-IX website and saw in the tariffs a 10Gb / s port worth about 80,000 rubles.
This is a port in a shared peering.
The question is: what is this peering?
If I buy 10Gbps in this peering, can I connect my servers to this port and that's it?
Will a user from another country be able to access my resources? Is this peering the same as normal internet access?

Answer 1

> connect your servers to this port and that's it?
no. first, you must own your offline system. second, you must have your ISP's AS uplink to your AS.
however, they are ready to solve the second moment if your autonomy still does not look at the Internet through anyone.

Answer 2

MSK-IX is an isolated network. Its task is to communicate between the participants of this network. Such a communication channel may be required both by one organization for the connectivity of its services, and for communication with other members of this network. So, by connecting to the port, you will not get access to the Internet unless one of the network participants provides you with this service.

Answer 3

M9 is a popular platform, where there are many nodes of operator and departmental networks. They provide very flexible conditions for the placement of their equipment, the organization of channels to this point, and even the input of their FOCL cable. For the convenience of interaction between them (in order not to throw a patch cord from router A to router B), MSK-IX was invented. You are included in their equipment (top-level in the switch), and organize interaction with another network connected to the same node, raising BGP. In fact, MSK-IX provides a more convenient service. You (and many other networks) set up BGP with their equipment (route-server), and then technically decide with prefix lists who you should peer with (for example, based on BGP as-path).
Example. You have a geographically distributed network of universities (runnet if you want). And you want to exchange traffic with other similar distributed networks (the Network of the Russian Academy of Sciences, foreign universities) and clients of large operators (Rostelecom). The simplest simple (and cheapest) is joining on the M9.
Peering is the possibility of a shorter interaction between networks. Your hosting is connected to the Internet via a megaphone, and the other hosting is connected via MTS, peering between a megaphone and a mts makes it possible for two hosts to interact, roughly speaking, not via the Internet (uplinks of a megaphone and mts)
