Connectivity Analysis
New link, IX peering, CDN cache — a wrong decision costs money every month. We evaluate your setup and recommend what actually makes sense for your ISP's reality.
What connectivity analysis is
Connectivity for an ISP covers three fronts: IP transit (how much you buy and from whom), public peering (IX.br), and private peering (CDNs such as Google, Netflix, Meta, Cloudflare). A wrong structure sends 80% of traffic through the most expensive path. The right structure balances cost, latency, and redundancy.
What RASYS does
- Current traffic map — NetFlow/IPFIX per upstream, per destination, per time of day.
- Upstream recommendations — Tier 1 vs regional, weighing price, redundancy, and route quality.
- IX.br onboarding — documentation, session setup, curation of routes received via route servers.
- Private peering with CDNs — Google, Netflix, Meta, Cloudflare, Akamai — technical negotiation and session setup.
- Traffic engineering via BGP communities/local-preference to exit through the right upstream.
- Inbound vs outbound traffic analysis per upstream and asymmetry detection.
- Peering payback calculation — how much you save versus cross-connect and IX port cost.
Equipment we work with
Huawei NE8000/NE40, Juniper MX, Cisco ASR/IOS XR, Mikrotik RouterOS for smaller edge deployments.
When it makes sense to talk to us
Your transit contract is expiring soon; traffic grew and you are not sure whether to add a new upstream or expand IX capacity; you lost CDN peering and heavy traffic fell back to transit; you want to join IX.br for the first time; redundancy fails when the primary upstream goes down.
Talk to us — initial conversation, no commitment. See also: BGP.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you handle the full IX.br onboarding process?
Yes. Documentation to NIC.br, equipment delivery, session configuration with route servers, prefix filters, route count monitoring. We accompany the full cycle.
Do you assist with private peering with CDNs?
Yes, on the technical side. We validate requirements (traffic volume, presence at common PoPs), prepare the session configuration, and guide you through the process. The formal submission must come from the ISP's admin — CDNs require the ASN holder to sign the request.
How do I know if a second transit link is worth it?
We look at volume, peaks, historical failures of the current link, and marginal cost. In general, from 2-3 Gbps sustained traffic, a second transit is worth it for redundancy alone, even if it costs a bit more.
Do you work with regional IXPs or only major IX.br cities?
Both. We work with IX.br PoPs in Sao Paulo, Rio, Porto Alegre, Curitiba, Belo Horizonte, Recife, Fortaleza, Brasilia, Salvador, and more, plus regional IXPs when the ISP is already nearby.
