| World First As LINX Launches Perring Review Software The London Internet Exchange has announced today that ISPs and NSPs can explore in advance the business advantages of peering through an Internet exchange point. The London Internet Exchange (LINX) and solutions partner Renesys Corporation have launched LINX Peering Professional, a peering review software tool that enables a prospective new member of LINX to evaluate the benefits of membership. Comprising two elements, 'Peer Finder' and 'What if Routes', LINX Peering Professional is a world first in the Internet peering arena. Developed by Renesys specifically for LINX, the solution integrates seamlessly with LINX's existing website. The solution will be made available to prospective Members via a secure web portal that requires authentication. Prospective members of LINX can use 'Peer Finder' to generate a list of current LINX members who would be ideal peering partners. The recommended peerings are based on the stated objectives of the prospective member, such as better connectivity to certain regions, traffic shedding, etc. Mutually owned by its members, LINX connects the networks of more than 200 Content Delivery and Internet Service Providers so that traffic may flow more efficiently between them. The company is one of the largest Exchange Points globally, measured both in terms of the traffic that passes over its network and the Internet routes that are directly accessible from its peering LAN. LINX Peering Professional is based on Renesys' award-winning Internet Intelligence Services suite, which enables service providers to view Internet routes uniquely in real-time from multiple vantage points, each offering different levels of intelligence that can impact business decisions. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
