Wie kann ich Regional Internet Breakout (RIB) in der EUI einrichten?

Enhanced Global Data Routing – EMnify Dynamic Regional Internet Breakout
 

High network latency in globally distributed IoT deployments is no longer a reason for concern thanks to EMnify dynamic RIB (Regional Internet Breakout) infrastructure, which enables data transfers while significantly reducing the ping time to a fraction of traditional MNO’s latency. 

RIB is an innovative solution for network latency enabled by EMnify globally distributed cloud architecture. By routing endpoint traffic- either dynamically depending on the device’s location or through pre-defined system configuration - it reduces latency and significantly improves the time it takes for devices to transfer data.

While every device and protocol is affected by latency, the main beneficiaries from such interconnection means are application providers who run globally distributed application servers or have globally distributed deployments. In these cases, the new EMnify dynamic RIB infrastructure can minimize the time it takes for their application to exchange data.

Benefits of RIB vs. Traditional Routing for IoT Devices

The longer the distance between the network core and the application server, the greater the lag. When a network core is based in one continent, and the devices are based in another one, it would take them longer to send and receive data in comparison to a use case when both the network and devices are based in the same continent. While lag may be less relevant to some devices’ functionality, it’s crucial for applications that require high precision or rely on user interaction. RIB enables data transfer from the endpoint to the closest breakout region, and therefore significantly reduces the distance between the endpoint and application server. Using dynamic RIB, devices all over the world will always use the shortest route to the application server. 

Service Profile Configuration in EMnify User Interface
 

"Internet Breakout Region" configuration option is now available in the EMnify UI under the service profile settings. Users are now able to choose their preferred settings and assign different configurations to different service profiles.
 

Option 1: “Regional Breakout” will let the system dynamically choose the breakout region, based on the visited network’s location.
Option 2: Choosing a specific region will route the traffic exclusively through the selected breakout.
Option 3: Selecting an option with a VPN tied to a specific region requires a user to connect to the EMnify VPN Gateway in that specific region.

Endpoint Connectivity Status
 

The Endpoint/SIM Connectivity Status is now showing the current breakout region and IP address in the EMnify UI.

Breakout with regional public IP
 

Endpoints that are connected to a certain region will appear on the internet with a public IP registered to that region. That will be noticed by any service that takes the geo-location of IPs into account (e.g., the user will end up on google.com instead of google.ie). This also means that the user can make endpoints virtually appear in the desired region regardless of their physical location.
