7. Internet Landscape – PH Traffic
Source: local traffic profiler
Traffic Profile
-IP traffic is still predominantly US-centric
-Asian traffic continuous to grow – specifically
Singapore, Malaysia & Korea
-CDNs / US Carriers bringing content closer to Asia
-European traffic growing, (route via U.S.),
-PH with the biggest Internet penetration growth –
more demand for Internet BW
Traffic Growth

Source: http://www.internetworldstats.com/asia.htm#ph
PH has 93% FB penetration vs internet users
8. Internet Landscape – Behavior
Source:Manchurian
2012
In The Philippines, Majority of Internet
users at 62% connect wirelessly
Laptops still present the majority of Wifi
connections. (Globally, Ipad dominates
the Tablets
Business prefer wired connectivity (for stablility)
Wireless connectivity is driven by mobility and the availability of
WIFI enabled devices and locations.
9. Internet Landscape – Local IX
*Government policy to peer via PhOpen IX (answer to Domestic traffic
localization)
Note: 15-23% of all Internet is Domestic
Source:The-Need-for-a-True-National-Internet-Exchange-Philippines-V1-2
No common IX where all ISPs are connected
ISPs operate their own IXP
ISPs peer directly (selected ISPs)
Traffic localized - through inter-ISP peering
sessions
Peering Policy – Inter-AS only (with special
exceptions)

To be verbalized: traffic to PLDT routes to USSame case with all ISPs in PHGlobe & PLDT with very minimal peering BW – only used for selected trafficNo developments (yet) for in in peering interconnection
ESP – from traditional BW subscription to IP port only, IPL + IP, Freeway IPCreates new variants to suite the dynamic customer requirementsNetwork enhancements:Implement dual core router for each of the 5 BEACON sites for redundancy and to lessen impact of SW upgrade activities
Note the strategic position of the Philippines amongst the neighboring countriesNetwork enhancements:3x10G EAC International PoP Capacity Upgrade at HKG, SNG & JPN (end August 2012)SJC available by 2013implement OOB management and duplicated the routers and switches
Network enhancements:Roll out of Metro Ethernet switches to the identified 145 BAX Sites as alternative approach in serving ethernet requirement of customers.Icon Dual Core - Implement shelf redundancy for each of the core site considering physical and logical set up and upgrade the control module capacity
Globe has the biggest Internet Capacity in the Philippines, 200++Gbps of IP port capacity
