Quality Statement for all REMOTE exchanges
At AMS-IX, we believe our people are the core of our organisation. With over 25 nationalities, we value our diversity and we are always looking for new talents to strengthen our team.
How to set up your device when connecting to AMS-IX? Here are some pointers to start with. 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 built around photonic cross connects, Layer 1 switches, which introduce short link flaps for the customers with 10GE connections when moving customer connections between Ethernet switches. This article will tell you 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.
AMS-IX Interface & cabling specifications
The greatest danger to any Ethernet network consists of loops. Unless countermeasures are taken, a loop will instantly bring down any L2 network. For example, broadcast frames are looped back to the network, creating duplicates and loading the CPUs of all connected equipment. This, in turn, can lead to a self-sustaining broadcast storm as each broadcast frame is received on all other ports and sent out once again.
