Abstract:
A cable verification system can be used to verify network connections between a network device and a patch panel. The network device and patch panel can be used to connect customers into a multi-tenant service provider environment through a direct connection. In order to ensure that the customers can properly connect, a cable verification system can be used that determines if the correct connections are made and if the signal levels are sufficiently strong. A backend software service can continuously and automatically check the ports of the networking device for test signals. A web front end can be used by the technician to interface with the backend software service in order to coordinate the testing.
Abstract:
A provider network may implement dynamic port bandwidth for dedicated physical connections to the provider network. A dedicated physical connection to the provider network may be established with a reserved port bandwidth according to which a client network may access resources implemented in the provider network. Utilization of the reserved port bandwidth for the dedicated physical connection may be monitored. A bandwidth modification event may be detected, and in response to detecting the bandwidth modification event, provider network routing may be modified to modify the reserved port bandwidth for the dedicated physical connection to the provider network. The resources in the provider network may then be accessed according to the adjusted reserved port bandwidth.
Abstract:
A provider network may collect diagnostic metrics for virtual connections implemented over physical connections to resources in the provider network. Diagnostic metric collection may be enabled via an interface for the provider network. In response to receiving a request to enable diagnostic metric collection for a particular virtual connection, a diagnostic agent within the provider network may begin sending diagnostic request messages to a client-side endpoint via the particular virtual connection. Responses to the request messages may be received back at the diagnostic agent. The diagnostic responses may then be used to generate diagnostic metrics for the particular virtual connection, which may be provided through the provider network interface.
