- In general, we can provide at most two IP addresses (202.40.161.X) to each member at HKIX primary site and two IP addresses (218.100.16.x) to each member at HKIX secondary site.
|
- For each site, we can provide at most two network connections to each member on HKIX switch. The network connections available on our switches are 10/100/1000BaseT and 10Gigabit Ethernet. These connections can be made from your home office or co-location routers to the HKIX switch.
|
- Subject to switch port availability, we may consider more than two network connections from HKIX member provided that the traffic(B) aggregated from a HKIX member has greater than 80% of its total (n-1) capacity. For example, B must be >800Mbps if number of GE connected = 2.
|
- For each site, we can provide at most 8xGE connections to each member on HKIX switch. Subject to switch port availability, we may consider member's application of 10G connection as an upgrade. Once the application is approved and the 10G port is connected, some or all of the existing GE connections would need to be disconnected.
|
- For 10G connection, HKIX member needs to provide its own XENPAK module (XENPAK-10GB-LR) for fiber termination. The specifications of the XENPAK module can be found in here.
|
- For production 10G link, the minimum traffic requirement is 2Gbps as shown in the 1-Day Average of the yearly MRTG statistics. HKIX reserves the rights to disconnect and reclaims the 10G port if the traffic is below the minimum requirement for a long period of time.
|
- HKIX does NOT support trunk, etherChannel, VLAN mapping and port aggregation to the HKIX switch.
|
- We can only provide 1 ft to 1.5 ft space to accommodate members' co-location routers for each connection if necessary. Therefore, each member can have at most 3 ft space for their equipment. However, HKIX will not provide space for switch or transmission equipment co-location. All transmission equipment must be installed inside telco equipment rack.
|
- On the other hand, we accept T1 or above connections to HKIX if the link layer of this circuit is terminated at members' co-location routers. HKIX will not provide any physical layer equipment or transit equipment such as switch ports or ATM ports for those circuits.
|
- For IRB connection, HKIX will no longer subscribe ATM circuits for members. If members want to use ATM service from Telco, the Telco has to charge them the bandwidth and circuit cost for both ends. HKIX will not provide any physical layer equipment or transit equipment such as ATM switch for those connections.
