This release introduces a port utilisation reporting function into IXP Manager's frontend UI. You will find it in the IXP STATISTICS section of the left hand side menu.
The purpose of this tool is to easily identify ports that are nearing or exceeding 80% utilisation.
Our analysis at INEX has shown as much as 50% routine traffic increases across IXPs in areas under lock down due to the Coronavirus outbreak. To help us identify and engage with members for capacity upgrades, we needed a tool that would allow us to rapidly and easily view port utilisation across all members rather than looking at member graphs individually.
This feature was rapidly developed at INEX this week and we are releasing it immediately in the hope it may help other IXs plan for increased traffic during the Coronavirus outbreak.
