This article gives some pointers towards setting up your device when connecting to the AMS-IX. AMS-IX rules restrict the type of traffic and number of source MAC addresses that any member is allowed to send to the exchange. The AMS-IX platform is build around photonic cross connects, Layer 1 switches, which introduce short link flaps for the customers with 10GE connections.
How to prevent those flaps from influencing your session and how to configure your interface towards AMS-IX to only send allowed traffic towards the exchange will be described in this article.
This article is also available as a single html file, or a PDF file, both of which are suitable for printing.
