| Summary: | Today’s business model comprises of several layers: End users, Internet Service Providers (ISP), exchange
points, and carriers. Arbitrary technological upgrades and absence of interaction in this layered business model,
have led to critical system shortcomings. Foremost issues caused by this model are: 1.) unoptimized topology,
2.) low-liquidity, 3.) waste of resources, 4.) reduced interoperability.
We introduce a new and novel concept for coping with the issues and shortcomings of today’s business model.
Integrated Neutral Topology Optimizer (INTO) is an over all arbiter layer with commercial functionality. This
layer operates with ISPs and carriers during leasing process and continually monitors the traffic to optimize the
bandwidth usage. Inter-and-intra carrier connections are made and maintained according to the decisions of
this layer. |
