Internet Exchange Point

yes there is internet connections in Greece, obviously if your writing this from greece.

An internet Exchange Point (IXP) is a physical infrastructure that enables different Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and networks to connect and exchange Internet traffic with one another.

The former Premier League referee has taken the whistle as part of the TV revival of the iconic Nineties show, in which ‘contenders' compete against ‘Gladiators' in a series of physical challenges. A ‘phenomenal reboot' was one national newspaper review. Broadcast on BBC One on Saturday night prime-time, it has recaptured the imagination of the viewing public.

I've had to take honey to soothe my throat and I'm constantly drinking water to help my voice. That's not easy when your hand is shaking 30 feet in the air!' You're shouting over and over. You see one hour on TV, but each show takes eight hours to record. ‘It's actually hard keeping the voice going.

I've got a tactic in my head to get him off balance early, a full roundhouse swipe.' You're on a platform with a stick. I've often stood there thinking, "I could win this one", especially against Giant. But there is one game, Duel, I would love to have go at.

Clattenburg's voice has already become a sub-genre of the show. Search the internet and you will find fans wondering if he is trying to emulate John Anderson, the legendary Scottish referee from the original Gladiators.

He admits he could not have done it in red-and-white stripes. Clattenburg's Gladiators shirt is also a nod to his boyhood team, Newcastle United. Not that he was so willing to declare his allegiance early in his career.

I went into the dressing-room to warn him after one contest. Then, as I was leaving, he threw his shoe off the door!' Sadly, Craig Bellamy did!' he says. We had a fist-bump and all was OK. ‘Not really, because Viper doesn't speak. 'Viper is like The Undertaker from WWE, he's scary!

Mark Clattenburg had just walked in. Even in Spain this week, the long arm and booming sound of Gladiators was breaking the tranquillity of a Mediterranean sunset. ‘Gladiators, ready!' screeched one diner in a seaside bar in the otherwise sedate La Cala de Mijas.

The one contest where Gladiators have struggled is Edge. They are raised 30 feet in the air on a criss-cross grid of narrow walkways and, so far in the series, contenders have come out on top by avoiding being pushed into the safety net below. It's not only the Gladiators who find this one tough.

The Gladiators do not want to lose. But it's so competitive. If they do, they're teasing each other backstage. I remember the auditions, there are lots of people who want to be Gladiators.' They're expected to win, so they're under a bit of pressure. ‘If you're watching on TV, maybe you think they're playing along with the show.

Clattenburg joined the Football League as a linesman the following year and his rise - coupled with the tattoos and fast cars - made him one of the first celebrity referees. But he does not miss the game he left behind.

‘I'd be gutted if I got something wrong. Yes, it's a game and it's for TV, but it's also a sport - these guys really want to win.' There was one decision I got wrong in Powerball and corrected it by using the replays. We've got VAR to help, too.

The first couple of days I was getting applauded when I was introduced. I thought, "This is great". Then you make a few decisions against the contenders and you're being booed again! I'm the pantomime villain at times.

My friend left a Sunderland match early to get home to see it!' ‘It makes you realise that your children have missed out on what we had as kids. Actually, they enjoy the TV with their family more, and families are watching Gladiators as soon as it airs. They're on iPads, YouTube and Xbox.

People say I'm trying to copy John Anderson. But if that's all I've got to worry about, then I must be doing alright!' ‘I really don't get it,' he protests. I don't intend to come across as Scottish! ‘I'm in an arena with 3,000 people so I'm shouting at the top of my voice - maybe that distorts it?

He has always laughed about the subject. Like on Gladiators, it revealed the tattoos on his arms which, over the years, have been a source of controversy. Earlier in the day, Clattenburg wore his black-and-white referee jersey - at Mail Sport's request, he doesn't ordinarily - as we chatted by the pool. He has inked mementos of the finals he has refereed and the collection has become known as ‘Clatt's tatts'.

‘It's a different culture and it's taking us back in time. But you sat as a family in front of the TV. I think we've lost that over the years. Then, in the Nineties, we had Gladiators - Wolf was my favourite. I remember watching CHiPs, World of Sport, Dukes of Hazard. Those were my Saturdays.

‘I was on the train to Sheffield ahead of filming and read the rule book over and over. But I'm also there for safety and to help the contenders. I'm shouting, "You've got to keep going to get the points!". It was like revising for a driving test! For example, one contender started dancing when the Gladiator fell off the Edge.
