External IP link

Table with one row for each element of the type: 'External IP link'.

Columns

Name	Description
Carried traffic (Gbps)	Indicates the current carried traffic in Gbps.
A	Origin node
B	Destination node
Description	A user-defined text description (potentially long) that can be assigned to this element
Attributes	User-defined attributes associated to this element
Ground-truth traffic (Gbps)	The traffic computed in the element as ground-truth traffic. This traffic is compared to the current traffic in this element
Intra-node	Indicates if both end nodes are the same or not
Bidi pair	If this element is bidirectional, contains its bidirectional pair
JSON	An optional JSON content describing this element
SRGs	The Shared Risk Groups (SRGs) this element belongs to: the SRGs that mandate the shutdown (set in failure state) of this element
Estimation absolute error (Gbps)	The absolute difference in Gbps, between the ground-truth traffic stored, and the curren traffic in this element
Name	A user-defined name (typically short) that can be assigned to this element
Identifier	A unique identifier set to the element, and never changed
Length (km)	The length in km of this element
Latency (ms)	The latency in miliseconds added to the traffic traversing this element
Installed	Indicates if the element is installed. If not installed, the element behaves as if it did not exist, being unable to e.g. handle traffic or reserve any bandwidth
Show	Show the element in the canvas, or else hide it
Up	Indicates if the element is up (active) or down (failed)
External links	Indicates if this element has one or more user-defined external URLs associated to it. If so, when the user clicks this cell, and selects the URL (if more than one), a navigator is launched and the URL page is shown. External links are not editable in the GUI, but via API.
Tags	User-defined tags associated to this element
Estimation relative error (%)	The relative error measured as the ratio between the absolute error, and the ground-truth traffic in this element

Views

Name	Columns	Description
Full view	Name, Identifier, Description, ExternalLinks, Show, A, B, Intra-node, BidiPair, Length(km), Latency(ms), Up, Installed, Srgs, CarriedTraffic(gbps), Tags, Attributes, Json, Ground-truthTraffic(gbps), EstimationAbsoluteError(gbps), EstimationRelativeError(%)	This table view corresponds to a view with all the table columns. In some occassions, this may imply an impractically large number of columns for human inspection.
Failure status	A, B, Up, Installed, Srgs	Columns associated to the risks this element belongs to, and its failure status
Connectivity	A, B, BidiPair, Up	Columns associated to the element related paths, links, neighbor nodes and alike
Description & tags & attributes	Name, Identifier, Description, ExternalLinks, A, B, Up, Tags, Attributes, Json	Columns associated to side information like element names, descriptions, user associated tags or attributes
KPIs	A, B, Length(km), Latency(ms), Up, Installed	Columns associated to traffic-related KPIs of the multicast flows
Default view	Show, A, B, Latency(ms), Up, CarriedTraffic(gbps), Tags	This table view corresponds to a subset of columns selected as representative for a default table view. They typically include the most typical required values
Ground-truth traffic comparison	A, B, Up, CarriedTraffic(gbps), Ground-truthTraffic(gbps), EstimationAbsoluteError(gbps), EstimationRelativeError(%)	This view collects information related to the comparison of the current traffic in the element with the ground-truth traffic
