IP external node

Table with one row for each element of the type: 'IP external node'.

Columns

Name	Description
Site	Site this node belongs to
AS-PATH	Represents the AS-path announced by this node as the destination.
Out traffic (Gbps)	Accumulated IP traffic incoming to the node
Description	A user-defined text description (potentially long) that can be assigned to this element
Attributes	User-defined attributes associated to this element
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
Name	A user-defined name (typically short) that can be assigned to this element
X-pos	Coordinate along x-axis (i.e. longitude)
BGP sharing limit	Specifies the BGP load-sharing limit, defining the maximum number of next-hops that can be selected
Identifier	A unique identifier set to the element, and never changed
# In IP inj. links	Number of INPUT IP injection links
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
Population	Total population in this node
Show	Show the element in the canvas, or else hide it
Up	Indicates if the element is up (active) or down (failed)
Y-pos	Coordinate along y-axis (i.e. latitude)
# Out IP inj. links	Number of OUTPUT IP injection links
# IP neighbors	Number of IP internal nodes that have an IP injection link with this node, and thus are IP neighbors
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.
In traffic (Gbps)	Accumulated IP traffic incoming to the node
AIGP active?	Indicates if the BGP protocol has AIGP active from this node to internal nodes it connects to
Tags	User-defined tags associated to this element

Views

Full view	Name, Identifier, Description, ExternalLinks, Show, Up, Installed, Srgs, Site, X-pos, Y-pos, Population, #InIpInj.Links, #OutIpInj.Links, #IpNeighbors, InTraffic(gbps), OutTraffic(gbps), AigpActive?, As-path, BgpSharingLimit, Tags, Attributes, Json	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	Up, Installed, Srgs	Columns associated to the risks this element belongs to, and its failure status
BGP/IGP	Up, AigpActive?, As-path, BgpSharingLimit	Columns associated to BGP and/or IGP information of the node
Connectivity	Up, X-pos, Y-pos, #InIpInj.Links, #OutIpInj.Links, #IpNeighbors	Columns associated to the element related paths, links, neighbor nodes and alike

KPIs	Up, Installed, InTraffic(gbps), OutTraffic(gbps)	Columns associated to traffic-related KPIs of the multicast flows
Default view	Name, Show, Up, Site, InTraffic(gbps), OutTraffic(gbps), As-path, 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
