Dear RIPE community,

 

 we would like to share some preliminary results from our survey (circulated two weeks ago) on Internet agreements and to foster further participation. Would you help us by answering a set of objective questions reflecting your views (<10min)? 

 

Survey URL: http://bit.ly/2rfoQ3E

 

We aim at drawing a picture of the dynamism, economics, and service level agreements aspects in today’s Internet interconnection ecosystem. 

 

So far, we observed that the majority of the respondents have between 6-20 agreements and 1 of every 4 respondents have Service Level Agreements for over 75-100% of these agreements. One of every three respondents have no more than 25% settlement-free agreements. Related to our envisioned scenario, the majority of operators are willing to have features to reduce the current agreement setup time (the overall time is indicated as "months") and to establish more fine-grained agreements (e.g. for a set of prefixes).

 

We will share the final results in an aggregated form once collecting . Please write in the comments if you have any specific concern about sharing results in an aggregated form.

 

Feel free to drop any comment on how to improve the survey in the future.

 

Thank you very much,
