Most providers will tell you how many PoPs they have, how many customers they have, how big their network is or how many times they appeared on TV shows. If you ask them why the connectivity to a specific network is not reliable, they will simply tell you: "please get in touch with that network and ask them to solve their congestion". At ZET we understand our responsibility to make the Internet a better place and always look for options even for the worst case scenario. All this automated by our AI system.
The Internet as a network of networks is relying on interconnections. There are networks which are hard to directly reach, they simply fail to respond to direct interconnection requests or don't want to directly peer. To make things even worse some of them keep part of their uplinks under congestion. This means that even if we have plenty of available bandwidth, the connectivity to those networks would be affected by the recklessness of their administrators. The ZET project started with the idea to always have the best possible connectivity to all networks (not only a few of them). This is how we've started to build our AI optimization system.
One of our daily tasks are to monitor the networks we exchange traffic with and find ways to directly reach them. This is why we've managed to expand our network in carrier neutral datacenters where we've been able to interconnect to thousands of networks. At this moment, approximately 80% of our traffic flows directly to interconnected networks.
