The situation of Iran’s Iernet is still in an aura of uncertaiy. While there have been reports of limited connection of mobile users in rece days, the critical infrastructure of web hosting and data ceers of the coury are still in blackout.
For a more detailed investigation of this situation and a technical autopsy of the network, Gadget News reached out Daud MoazeriThe founder and CEO of “Mabeenhost” is gone. In a conversation with us, this infrastructure industry activist preses a clear picture of the difference between the network of home users and the network of data ceers and reveals the breathtaking challenges of hosting companies in the days of outages.
The heaviest blow on the body of the final consumer
Infrastructure activists’ assessme of rece outage damage indicates a damage domino. According to Mobinhast CEO, although digital businesses and infrastructure providers have been at the forefro of this crisis and experienced the most severe restrictions and financial losses, ultimately the smoke of this fire is visible. final consumer has gone
Moazeri believes that the most damage is to the customers of online businesses; Those whose daily and vital services are suddenly out of reach and their lives are disrupted.
red status in the hosting industry; A heavy responsibility on the service providers
These days, web hosting companies are going through a very difficult time and the pressure on them is twofold. On the one hand, domestic services have been disrupted due to the disconnection of the global network, and on the other hand, Iranian users’ access to servers outside the coury has been cut off.
Daoud Moazeri explains this situation: “Given the heavy currency costs of foreign servers, we have a great responsibility for user data. Unfortunately, while the corol of these restrictions is completely out of our corol, the tip of the arrow of customer criticism is towards the hosting companies. “Even if the Iernet is connected right now, the material and credit losses to this industry will not be compensated for a long time.”
Network autopsy: the mystery of mobile connection and server outages
One of the main questions of users is why the mobile iernet is connected in some places, but the sites and servers are still disconnected? To answer this ambiguity, the CEO of Mobinhost divides the coury’s iernet structure io three layers:
- Iernal network (IXP): A platform that is always active and establishes iernal communications.
- Iernational network (FCP/Broadband): This network is for home and office users mobile iernet is
- Iernational Network (IDC): This is a dedicated network Data ceers and hosting servers.
According to Moazeri’s explanation, what we have seen in rece days is limited and iermitte network connection FCP (especially on mobile operators such as Mobile First and Irancell). But the network IDC which the life of websites and applications depends on, has been ierrupted with a high perceage since the beginning of the crisis, and uil the mome of preparing this report, the iernational connection of data ceers has not been established.
Behind the curtain of momeary ierruptions and strategy changes
About the issue of connecting for a few minutes and network fluctuations, the CEO of Mobinhost believes that these eves are caused by Updating equipme and applying new policies It is in the higher layers of the network. According to him, during these changes and reloading the settings, sometimes the Iernet path opens and closes for minutes, which indicates technical tests on the main gateways.
Another poi to consider is the change in connection strategy compared to previous periods. Moazeri explains that unlike in 2018 when priority was given to the network of data ceers and home iernet, this time the decision makers mobile iernet have prioritized connection. Also, the deceralized structure of operators has caused the connection speed to be differe in each operator.
The unclear future of filter breakers and the shadow of class iernet
In the final part of this conversation, the issue of the function of filter breakers and the rumor of class iernet was raised. The CEO of Mobeenhost, poiing out that the situation is unpredictable, confirmed that unofficial news indicates that some filter breakers have been activated on certain operators.
He also said about the class iernet: “It is impossible to make a definite opinion, but in the conditions of severe restrictions, it is natural that some special people will receive special access due to the sensitivity of their jobs or connections. “However, my observations show that during this period, the restriction was applied to almost everyone in the most severe possible way.”
At the end, Moazeri expressed his hope that the restrictions will be removed as soon as possible for everyone so that online businesses can coinue to operate in a safe and competitive environme.
