Un vídeo creado por Euro IX y traducido al español de como funciona el Internet y los puntos de interconexión.

When you connect to the internet to talk to friends, send emails, shop, learn about the climate or study, it's as if you were directly connected to what you want.

But there are billions of people watching billions of things at the same time.

They only work if we play the same sport.

If you make 2 computers play the same, you create a network.

If your friend does it too, you have another network.

But if both decide that their networks will play the same, they can connect to each other.

Now there is a network made up of networks.

The rules of cybernetics are called Internet Protocol, better known by its acronym in English, IP.

If we all agree, we can continue adding devices and networks until everyone is connected.

A network of networks sharing each other.

Each device connected to the internet has its own address.

Everything we send through the internet is just a message from 1 device to another, but this message does not travel like a unit.

Each part has information about what it is, where it comes from, and where it's going.

This way, your message is divided and goes through many paths until it reaches its destination.

There, using IP, the device that receives the message knows how to compose it.

Being so many connections possible, there is not a single point of failure.

If a connection is interrupted or overloaded, your data will simply look for another way to get there.

Even when a large part of the internet is affected, your message will still reach your destination.

But what if your friend and you use different providers?

How does the information from 1 network to another travel?

Several companies make private connections to exchange their traffic.

For now, more traffic is passing through the shared service platforms that we call interconnection points.

An interconnection point, or Internet Exchange Point, as it is known in English, is a place where many different organizations come together to interconnect their technology.

Internet providers, publishers, social networks, communications companies and radio broadcasting organizations can be on this platform.

Interconnection benefits almost everyone who depends on network traffic.

By connecting everyone in 1 place, they reduce their costs and traffic flows better and more efficiently.

It is common for suppliers to sell each other's traffic on their networks, But this is a lot of work.

Many realized that by meeting in a middle ground, they would reduce costs and traffic would flow better.

With a single connection to the platform, they can exchange traffic with many.

This method called interconnection or peering makes the internet faster and more accessible for everyone.

Those who do peering reach mutual benefit agreements.

It may seem that companies are giving away their services, but each 1 is putting in place the solution the client needs to be able to exchange traffic in the most efficient and reliable way.

The Internet is open, decentralized and neutral.

Nobody controls it, and that's why it works.

When we all cooperate, we make the Internet exist.


Speaker 0: What happens when we use the internet? When you connect to the internet to talk to friends, send emails, shop, learn about the climate or study, it's as if you were directly connected to what you want. But there are billions of people watching billions of things at the same time. How is that possible? Everything happens thanks to agreements.

Think of networks as sports. They only work if we play the same sport. If not, it's not fun. If you make 2 computers play the same, you create a network. If your friend does it too, you have another network.

But if both decide that their networks will play the same, they can connect to each other. Now there is a network made up of networks. There is an Internet. The rules of cybernetics are called Internet Protocol, better known by its acronym in English, IP. If we all agree, we can continue adding devices and networks until everyone is connected.

That's the Internet. A network of networks sharing each other. Each device connected to the internet has its own address. Everything we send through the internet is just a message from 1 device to another, but this message does not travel like a unit. It is divided into small computer units.

Each part has information about what it is, where it comes from, and where it's going. This way, your message is divided and goes through many paths until it reaches its destination. There, using IP, the device that receives the message knows how to compose it. The Internet is decentralized. That strengthens it.

Being so many connections possible, there is not a single point of failure. If a connection is interrupted or overloaded, your data will simply look for another way to get there. Even when a large part of the internet is affected, your message will still reach your destination. But what if your friend and you use different providers? Can they communicate?

It may seem that companies are giving away their services, but each 1 is putting in place the solution the client needs to be able to exchange traffic in the most efficient and reliable way. The Internet is open, decentralized and neutral.

Its intelligence lives on the border. Nobody controls it, and that's why it works. When we all cooperate, we make the Internet exist. And that's how the internet works. You
