EdgeNXT IX fabric is designed to deliver high performance, reliability, redundancy, and resiliency. The architecture ensures that there is no single point of failure, enhancing the overall system's dependability.

The fabric employs carrier-grade and modular devices to maximize reliability. These devices consist of redundant modular components, which further contribute to the system's resiliency and dependability. Participants can directly connect to these devices, ensuring seamless and efficient communication.

EdgeNXT IX operates two separate route servers on dedicated hardware to ensure continuous operation and minimize service disruptions. This setup ensures that even if one route server fails, the other can continue to provide uninterrupted service. Additionally, regular backups of the route server are taken. In the event of a route-server failure, the backup can be utilized to quickly restore the route-server functionality.

Overall, the design and implementation of EdgeNXT IX fabric prioritize reliability and resiliency, offering participants a robust and uninterrupted network experience.

Interface and cabling specifications, IX’s end switch.

Participants networks can connect with either 1Gb Ethernet (GE), 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE), 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GE).
To ensure redundancy, participants have the option to connect to an EdgeNXT IX through multiple links and combine these links using the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
