OAM of TWIXOAM of TWIX

Enabling ISPs in Taiwan to exchange traffics in a secure and reliable way through the deployment of the scalable interconnection system.

Service provided since November 21, 1997.

Provides Multi-Lateral Peering (MLP) and Bi-Lateral Peering (BLP)

Members exchange route updates and extended attributes conforming to BGP4 (RFC-1771).

Page 5: Data Communication Business Group Chunghwa Telecom September, 2002 Status Report of TWIX (TaiWan Internet eXchange) Speaker: Eugene L. Chang.

OAM of TWIX (cont’d)

OAM of TWIX (cont’d)

Each route updates are reflected to 2 route servers (route reflectors).

Every member who joined MLP agrees to the interconnect/provisioning policies enlisted by TWIX.

TWIX ComponentsTWIX Components(1) Ethernet Switch (E/S)

Catalyst 6500’s Provides 10/100/1000 Mbps access. Peering members are asked to colocate members’ own border routers in TWIX.

(2) Routing Reflector (RR) Cisco 3640’s (Primary + Secondary) Supports:

RFC 1966: BGP Route Reflection: An Alternative to Full-Mesh IBGP RFC 1997: BGP Communities Attribute

Public peering members can only send/receive updates/ advertisements via RRs.

Route dampening.

(3) Network Management System (NMS) : Real-time management of the facilities. Logging of inactive/flapped neighbors. Abnormal behaviors detection (e.g. excessive prefixes)

TWIX Components (cont’d)

TWIX Components (cont’d)

(4) Web server : Used as troubleshooting interface for all TWIX members. System maintenance and/or other important messages a

re posted. Periodic traffic-monitoring for each IX port from the mem

bers. TWIX members can check traffic utilization through secur

e logon. Looking-glass webpage helps to isolate/workout the trou

bles.

TWIX ServicesTWIX Services

I. Provisioning

1. Dedicated account manager and implement engineer are assigned in charge of consulting and interconnection issues before the installation to shorten the provision lead-time.

2. After TWIX members colocate their equipments (i.e. border routers) in TWIX, the TWIX staff will complete the necessary configuration and cabling tasks regarding to the peering (either public peering or cross-connect) in less than two working days.

Page 12: Data Communication Business Group Chunghwa Telecom September, 2002 Status Report of TWIX (TaiWan Internet eXchange) Speaker: Eugene L. Chang.

TWIX ServicesTWIX ServicesII. Facility

1. Electricity and Air Condition Equipped with AC UPS power supply. Diesel-powered generators are used for backup. Monitoring of temperature/humidity in TWIX.

2. Security on the room access TWIX is in 24-hour security surveillance and monitoring. Two-level of entrance controls. Other necessary measures from disastrous accidents. (e.g. fire)

3. Networking Hardware Central equipments are all designed and implemented with

redundancy.
