What happens if the power fails at the DIX, or the switch fails?
Should the power fail at the DIX or the main DIX switch fail, the peerings
between the providers will of course dissapear. Since no operator is allowed
to have transit traffic (which could be international traffic) flowing on
the DIX switch, then all national traffic would automatic be re-routed on
each providers international link in case of a failure. Some providers may
also have other national peerings in Denmark, and the traffic could then
flow that way. When the DIX returns to normal operation, traffic would again
automatic be routed via the DIX.
Will the Internet in Denmark stop in case of a failure on the DIX?
NO! As explained above there will perhaps be a short interrupt while traffic
is being automatic re-routed to other links. Also traffic may be slower than
usual, if it is being routed via international links instead of via national
links.
How is power protected at the DIX?
At present the DIX is protected with battery supplied backup power. This
will last approx. 20 minutes before the switch shuts down. In this period
the ISP's can either manually re-route traffic or just let the network do it
automatically. However UNI-C are in the progress of installing a complete
diesel based power solution, which will have enough power to keep the entire
building with cooling running for unlimited time, in case of failures in the
powergrid. The first parts of this system are being installed before the end
of 2004 and the diesel generator will be online sometime in 2005. The
generator is mainly being installed to be able to keep internal servers and
networking equipment in other parts of the building running in case of
powerfailures, but it will also be of benefit to other installations in the
building, such as the DIX.
