INTRODUCTION Interconnection services offered to consortium members and partners by Consorzio TOP- IX (TOP-IX Consortium) are based on the use of a geographically distributed transmission infrastructure across North-West Italy, and designed to allow the following types of connection to be implemented: • Peering using BGP protocol to implement sessions of mutual visibility between the Autonomous System of members and partners connected to the Internet Exchange infrastructure. • Marketplace designed to allow the interchange of services (e.g. IP Transit, Cloud, remote Ethernet, etc.) between members and persons connected to the Internet Exchange infrastructure. • Transit designed to implement point-to-point or multipoint connections for private requirements (e.g. backhauling) for members and persons connected to the Consortium infrastructure. Any interaction between connecting bodies is carried out directly between the relevant parties involved without any technical or financial involvement from TOP-IX. The Consortium is solely responsible for providing the configurations required by members on the transmission structure. Platform flexibility enables logically separate networks to be configured at Level 2. These networks are geared towards implementing the services listed above. In the first case, these are agreements free of charge with the forecast use of a VLAN (so called public peering) made available to all interested parties to whom IP Transit is not permitted. In the second case, these are private agreements implemented on dedicated (private) VLANs and made available only to parties interested in the agreement itself. The final case covers private VLANs used by individual members of the Consortium and used by these individual members to interconnect ports assigned to them. The Consortium has made available the following services in order to maximize infrastructure operations and facilitate traffic exchange between Consortium members: • Route Server to facilitate and automate peering management operations between consortium members wishing to use the service. • F-Root Server and J-Root Server. Additional services may vary according to market needs and reference standards. Consorzio TOP-IX | Service Description v 2020.03 Pag. 4 di 28 2. TOP-IX BACKBONE ARCHITECTURE The broadband interconnection infrastructure made available by the Consortium operates at Level 2 (Ethernet). It is highly reliable and widely available due to the redundant architecture characterizing both the local platforms that make up the network nodes and their interconnecting backbones. As shown in Fig. 1, the infrastructure currently covers all the main centres in the Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta regions, as well as some sites in the Milan metropolitan area VB001 VB001 AO001 BRI01 CHA01 VER01 BI002 PSM01 PSM02 BI001 IV001 NO002 MI001 MI003 VC002 NO001 MI002 MI004 VC001 SGC01 SUS01 TO002 RIV01 SET04 BAR01 TO003 BUS01 SET03 AVI01 TO004 SET01 TO001 OUL01 RPC01 PIN01 AT001 FRO01 AL001 AT002 SSP01 FOS01 CU001 Fig. 1 - TOP-IX infrastructure Consorzio TOP-IX | Service Description v 2020.03 Pag. 5 di 28 2.1 ACCESS NODES TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE Based on the specific features of components making up the local platforms and connected backbones, four types of node can be identified. Each node differs in terms of its level of reliability, robustness and performance. • CORE: Core nodes feature robust, reliable and high-performance platforms comprising completely redundant equipment. The backbones connecting the nodes to the rest of the infrastructure (thereby creating a meshed network architecture across physically detached routes) have a link speed of at least Nx10 Gbps. • BACKBONE: Backbone nodes feature reliable high-performance platforms. The backbones connecting the nodes to the rest of the infrastructure (thereby creating a meshed network architecture across physically and/or logically detached routes) have a link speed of at least 10 Gbps. • EDGE: Edge nodes feature a reliable high-performance platform. The backbones connecting the nodes to the rest of the infrastructure have a link speed of at least 1 Gbps. However, the network architecture is only “meshed” in certain cases.” • REMOTE ACCESS: These nodes are characterized by a passive "one way" interconnection infrastructure with CWDM / DWDM technology. This provides access to the active network infrastructure which is typically, but not exclusively, with radio devices.
