Description
Today's Internet is based on interconnected computers and network devices, constituting a complex and highly dispersed infrastructure. The transmission uses an inter-operator network, which, among hundreds of intermediary devices, implements the assumptions of the BGP protocol. It is a very primitive protocol, over 35 years old, which does not work from the point of view of the realities and requirements of 21st-century networks. Data growth and irregular connection load counted in milliseconds are noticeable in finance, multimedia and entertainment. The article describes an innovative approach to analysing inter-operator traffic data using dedicated analytical solutions, including a data collection and visualisation system, optimisation tools and services that make decisions about traffic management for a given operator/customer. The aim is also to reduce the problem of non-intuitive path planning and optimise data transmission in the inter-operator network, considering the BGP protocol's imperfections. The system is based on information about flows from current routes, traffic management data within the local network and at the border of dedicated operators, and creating a network of connections verifying the current consumption of output gates on infrastructure links. The research conducted as part of the article analyses data obtained from network operators and within their infrastructure.
