Network Information
Our network is designed to be fully redundant and self healing from
top to bottom. The only single possible point of failure is the
connection to the physical server which limits any risk to a single
rack or server. Each Foundry EI-4802CF access switch dual uplinks to
a Foundry FESX-424 allowing for local layer 3 switching, policy
assignment and egress DoS protection. The FESX provides redundant
service by utilizing VSRP/VRRP ensuring that both layer 2 and layer
3 traffic has an alternate path in the event of a failure.
Each FESX connects via 10GbE to one of a paired Force10 E600's which act as layer 3 aggregation routers.
In addition to the direct connections to the E600's, each FESX
connects to its hot-spare through a dedicated 10GbE connection
ensuring that in the event of a physical network cable/fiber cut the
device does not need to degrade its master status and can continue
passing traffic through its hot spare thus limiting the amount of
actions taking place in the event of a minor failure.
The E600's interface with multiple Juniper M20's which peer with our
bandwidth providers via multiple redundant OC-48 connections
providing a maximum throughput of ~22Gbps. The E600's and the M20's
communicate internally via iBGP allowing for extensive route mapping
and traffic shaping helping us to provide you with the fastest
connections and least latent path possible.
