Leverage Network Bandwidth Costs

Keep bandwidth costs under control

IP transit providers rarely price bandwidth at a simple flat rate. A standard pricing model is to offer tiered levels of bandwidth with a minimum commitment and a higher burstable amount. Burstable pricing means that transit costs are related to how much bandwidth a customer uses relative to its contract with the provider. Noction IRP addresses this by incorporating billing structures into its policy models to adjust and keep predefined bandwidth commit rate levels for each provider link.

Group ISPs for intelligent Load Balancing

The advanced Load Balancing feature allows for the distribution of network load evenly across diverse Internet service providers, reducing your 95th-percentile usage, hence the operational costs paid on a per megabit basis and expanding the amount of “cushion” to handle unpredictable traffic spikes more effectively. Proactively optimize and control routing based on business requirements by collectively managing separate Internet links, resulting in smarter, cheaper bandwidth.

Automatically shape Inbound Traffic

The Inbound Commit Control seamlessly automates most of your ingress traffic-shaping operations. It uses proven BGP mechanisms to instruct routers to adjust the advertisements of your network segments to upstream providers and, subsequently, the World. This, in turn, allows more traffic to lean toward some of your upstream providers and less toward others, as per your business objectives.

Optimize & Control Transiting Traffic 

Transiting traffic optimization is an enhancement of the Inbound bandwidth optimization feature. It relies on the same method of influencing Internet-wide routing – automatically manipulating best path selection by increasing AS Path length for a prefix carrying traffic on an undesirable interface.

Manage Global bandwidth utilization

Global Commit is designed for clients with multiple geo-locations, operating as independent networks from a functional point of view but under a single contractual agreement with their transit providers. Our Global Commit feature allows clients to balance local, regional, and global 95th agreements to ensure locations don’t over-exceed bandwidth commitments and, at the same time, don’t needlessly underutilize connectivity.
