IP adjacency option

Table with one row for each element of the type: 'IP adjacency option'.

Columns

Name	Description
Maximum air distance (km)	If set, the maximum geographical air-distance between the end nodes is limited to this amount.
Tags Node A	A list of regular expressions of tags, to check against the first node of the node pair. A node is matching if ALL the regular expressions match for the node. Character '' is a wildcard: 1) If the reg-exp is of type 'something', the node matches the expression if it has at least one tag starting with 'something' (case-sensitive). 2) If the reg-exp equals '*', all nodes are matched, even those without tags.
Tags Node B	A list of regular expressions of tags, to check against the second node of the node pair. A node is matching if ALL the regular expressions match for the node. Character '' is a wildcard: 1) If the reg-exp is of type 'something', the node matches the expression if it has at least one tag starting with 'something' (case-sensitive). 2) If the reg-exp equals '*', all nodes are matched, even those without tags.
Inter-intra PoP focus	Indicates the focus of the design rule: if applied only to inter-PoP connections (and thus other connections are not accounted for), only to intra-PoP connections, or to any type of connection (even not related to PoPs).
Hit elements	Target elements to which this design rule applies, i.e. they match the design rule
Attributes	User-defined attributes associated to this element
JSON	An optional JSON content describing this element
Tags Hub	This is a configuration for IP adjacency transport, relating to regular expressions of tags for selecting applicable nodes for the adjacency options.
Estimated worst-case latency (ms)	If set, the estimated worst-case latency of the connection is limited to this amount.
Active	Indicates if the design rule is active, and thus should be enforced
Transport connection capacity (Gbps)	The capacity of the transport connection connected to the IP port of this adjacency option.
Preference	The preference of this option, where smaller values are preferred over larger ones.
User description	A user-defined string that serves as an identifier for this rule. This is useful to identify the decisions in the reports
PoP/Node focus	Indicates the focus of the design rule: if node tags or PoP tags are checked to test its matching.
Transport technology	The type of transport connection for this rule.
Tags	User-defined tags associated to this element
