Q3 2018 Technical Update

 

Below are the main actions undertaken during the third quarter 2018:

—–

Software upgrade: in order to fix some minor issues, we performed a software upgrade campaign on Extreme SLX chassis installed @Interxion PAR5 and Telehouse2 PoPs.

Layer 2 traffic inspection: we developed a tool to be able to monitor broadcasted traffic in the network. Analysers are installed in every PoP and traffic is classified by protocol. Then, we are able to check easily if there is unwanted L2 traffic in the peering LAN. We plan to extend this tool to integrate real time alerting.
