Abstract

Since more than twenty years, Internet evolves as well as users' needs. and the users' needs too. The need of bandwidth growths every day with the new usages. In this context, with megabit per second count. There is a real business behind our free access to web site. From a group of island, the economy of bandwidth can be a major challenge. Installing a Regional Internet eXchange Point (RIXP) can be a solution to keep regional Internet traffic. This paper brings a reflexion about where to install a RIXP in the Indian Ocean Area (IOA). As there is a lot of different countries and stakes, we (stay) only on an scientist approach.
