Peering/Transit Edge

As a network operator, transit costs are one of the biggest expenses you face. Having the proper level of visibility into the traffic that’s entering and leaving your network is crucial to controlling costs, increasing profitability and offering new services to your customers. Arbor Peakflow SP and eSeries solutions provide intelligent visibility into your peering/transit edge, enabling you to make more informed network engineering and business decisions.

Intelligent Traffic Engineering and Capacity Planning with Peakflow SP
Using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and NetFlow data, Peakflow SP conducts detailed peering analysis, providing the network visibility to evaluate your current peering or transit relationships. This visibility is provided through a number of reports such as:

  • Network or application traffic by autonomous system number (ASN) and AS path
  • Network-wide ASN-to-ASN traffic patterns
  • Traffic per BGP communities, next hop or prefix
In addition, built-in peering analysis tools such as ASExplorer and Peer Evaluator enable network operators to quickly identify ASNs that are suitable—or no longer suitable—for direct transit/customer relationships.

Peakflow SP dramatically improves traffic engineering and capacity planning by correlating real-time topology information with traffic data. In fact, Peakflow SP ’s visibility is granular enough to show you where traffic is coming from or going to by geographic location (i.e., city, region or country), further enabling network operators to optimize their network, reduce costs and offer new services.
