April 2024

Customers can now order Link Aggregation Groups:
If a single link doesn't provide enough capacity to meet a customer's demand, they can now order multiple links of the same speed and have them grouped together, and they will work together as if they are a single higher speed link. Customers can then place higher bandwidth orders against this higher speed link. For example, if a customer does not have 400Gbps capable equipment, they can order 4x 100Gbps ports to create a single 400Gbps LAG port. The customer can then order services with up to 400Gbps of bandwidth on this special LAG port.
 
AS-SETS are now optional:
For small IP Transit customers who do not have an AS-SET, it is now possible to place order for the Inter.link Portal and API for an IP-Transit service without an AS-SET. In this case the customers AS number will be used to generate prefix lists.
 
Add "sync from peeringDB" option:
Customers with PeeringDB accounts can now choose this option when ordering IP-Transit via the Inter.link Portal or API. When this option is selected Inter.link will automatically sync the IPv4 prefix limits, IPv6 prefix limits, and AS-SET details from the customer's PeeringDB page every day. This removes the need for customers to manually update their prefix limits or AS-SET name changes with Inter.link

March 2024

BGP Route Advertisement Options:
When creating a new IP-Transit service, customers can now select the type of routes they would like to receive over the BGP session to better fit their equipment. Options supported now are: Full Routing Table (Inter.link's view of the internet), Default Route only (a route to Inter.link's network), or Full Routing Table and Default Route. This enables resource-constrained equipment to enable BGP sessions with Inter.link's network. 
 
Single-service ports:
When creating a new service, its port can now be configured as "untagged", so that no vlan configuration is needed in customer equipment. This makes it even quicker to set up a new service. 
 
Extension services in Dashboard:
Ordered & Provisioned Extensions are now visible in the dashboard under their own tab. This means customers can manage their locations more easily because they see them straight away. 
 
Optic Light Levels in Ports:
When in service details, optic light levels on the Inter.link side are now visible for each port, making it easier to debug connectivity issues if they ever arise. This information is valuable during setup when connectivity is checked, however, it is also important for daily monitoring. 
 
Reworked Location Selection:
When creating a new service, a new, cleaner location selector is now available. The location selector now has three sections (Inter.link locations, Extension locations, and Coming soon), greatly improving visibility.
