The main idea of ''Schengen Routing'' is to apply a European wide routing system in a sense that data, when sender and receipient are inside Schengen Area, is not sent via another non-EU country. There is no need to isolate users or restrict the access to the Internet. Seen from another perspective users accessing data in countries outside the European Union will have no profit from this solution, since the communication partner (no matter if source or destination) is not covered by the 'Schengen Routing' Agreement. Currently the main contributor seems to be Deutsche Telekom, as depicted from an interview of Philip Blank where they describe that "data running over Telekom's German networks stays in this country". This could be seen as a starting point, because if only one Internet Service Provider supports 'Schengen Routing' the traffic to other providers may leave the country. In addition, most users do not know which providers are connected (Peering). They should only have the goal to use national services and the rest has to be done by the providers. ==Applicability== Routing traffic only in a providers network might be easily achievable for the simple reason that a Internet Service Provider can control their own network, but how can a European wide 'Schengen Routing' be implemented? There must be an exchange between routing possibilities and much more sensible Internet Service Provider informations to ensure that data, sent from one Internet Service Provider to another, arising not to leave 'Schengen Routing' area really stays with these boundaries. For example these aspects lead to the fact that QSC AG, a Deutsche Telekom competitor, raised the question about the possibility of protecting traffic with this approach, since it might be impossible to determine data that would travel nationally or internationally. In the latest reports the governments of France and Germany could act as a key player in introducing 'Schengen Routing'. The German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the French President Francois Holland picked up the topic in order to establish a European communications network that is beyond the reach of US security officials. An initiative from the government might push the development of a 'Schengen Routing' area. However more and more people doubt that a European communications network would indeed lead to more security, because they argue that it would not be a problem for security agencies to set up more surveillance stations within Europe to capture data. Since this is true several politicians (e.g. Jan Philipp Albrecht - German member of the European Parliament) stated the fact that a legal framework to secure the fundamental rights in Europe, especially in the market area, is much more important. In the scope of economics 'Schengen Routing' seems to be a big chance the generate revenues, since every Internet Service Provider can provide special offers for data storage with the European Union or selected countries. In addition, special rates can be introduced to guarantee ''Schengen Routing'' at your Internet connection. The goal for the research community from this 'Schengen Routing' discussions might be a sensitization of companies and users to protect their data by supporting and using recently developed approaches reasonable for secure data storage and exchange. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schengen Routing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
