The inter-region traffic analysis capability helps you analyze the inbound and outbound traffic that passes through transit routers across regions. The inter-region traffic data is displayed in the form of 1-tuple (cloud IP addresses), 2-tuple (cloud IP addresses and peer IP addresses), and 5-tuple (cloud IP addresses, cloud ports, protocols, peer IP addresses, and peer ports).
Enable the inter-region traffic analysis capability
Log on to the NIS console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the Traffic Activation Management page, click the Inter-region Traffic tab and select the desired region from the drop-down list.
In the list of Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) instances, select the desired CEN instance.
Find the ID of the transit router whose inter-region connection traffic you want to view and click Enable in the Actions column.
If you do not need to view the inter-region connection traffic of a specific transit router, you can click Close in the Actions column that corresponds to the transit router to disable this capability.
View inter-region connection traffic
In the left-side navigation pane, choose .
On the Inter-region Traffic page, select the source region for which you want to view the inter-region connection traffic.
Click the 1-tuple, 2-tuples, or 5-tuples tab. Specify a time range and search criteria to view the trend charts and traffic lists of the inter-region connection traffic.
You can specify a time range and search criteria to view the traffic of IP addresses, ports, and protocols within the specified time range.

Traffic List: displays the cloud IP addresses, source region, bandwidth plan IDs, CEN instance IDs, outbound traffic, and number of outbound packets when the source region and the time range are specified.
2-tuples
Statistics/Trend Chart: displays the top-N inter-region connection traffic and top-N inter-region connection traffic that passes through a specific CEN instance in the specified region within the specified time range.
Traffic List: displays the cloud IP addresses, peer IP addresses, source region, destination regions, bandwidth plan IDs, CEN instance IDs, outbound traffic, and number of outbound packets when the source region and the time range are specified.
5-tuples
Statistics/Trend Chart: displays the inter-region connection traffic of top-N ports and top-N protocols in the specified region within the specified time range.
Traffic List: displays the cloud IP addresses, cloud ports, protocols, peer IP addresses, peer ports, source region, destination regions, bandwidth plan IDs, CEN instance IDs, outbound traffic, and number of outbound packets when the source region and the time range are specified.

FAQ
Why am I unable to select an existing transit router in a region from the drop-down list when I want to enable the inter-region traffic analysis capability for the transit router?
The inter-region traffic analysis capability is only applicable to Enterprise Edition transit routers of the latest version. If you cannot select an existing Enterprise Edition transit router in a region from the drop-down list when you want to enable the inter-region traffic analysis capability for the transit router in the region, check whether the transit router is upgraded to the latest version in the CEN console. For more information, see Announcement: Optimization on VPC-connected Enterprise Edition transit routers.
