MALAYSIA’S Internet data exchange rose 57% year-on-year to a peak of 170Gbps last August, according to the Malaysia Internet Exchange (MyIX). The figure is the highest recorded in the country’s history and is in line with the rapid rise of Malaysia’s Internet traffic, MyIX said. The findings were based on Internet data patterns recorded up to August 2016 for Internet data that transversed (or “peered”) over the National Internet Exchange nodes that directly connects with the country’s major ISPs and content providers. The measurement is based on the highest peak Internet traffic recorded on a particular day on a monthly basis. MyIX, also known as Persatuan Pengendali Internet Malaysia, is an initiative under the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).
