Traffic matrix, a new service offered to MIX customers

MIX has developed an innovative tool that allows each MIX member to visualize the amount of traffic exchanged with any other MIX member having a peering relation.

Until today, in fact, a member could only view the total amount of traffic exchanged on the MIX peering LAN. Through the new tool a member can also monitor how its global traffic is shared, in input and output, among the other customers thus obtaining a traffic matrix.

The graphics, up-to-dated every 5 minutes, show the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly amount of traffic that each ISP's  interface exchanges with any given interface of another member.

Each member can access just to the traffic matrix relating to its own interfaces.

The traffic matrix is built using sFlow packet sampling technology that is supported, after the upgrade of MIX infrastructure to Foundry's Jetcore technology (see news), at wire-speed by means of dedicated ASICs, without affecting the switching capabilities of our devices.
