One of iiNet's NOCs, which are distributed between Perth, Melbourne, Auckland and Capetown.
Engineers take in feeds from a variety of sources - instruments managing traffic load and transit on the network, the status of every switch and server on the network, call volumes on the VoIP network, and the results of ping tests.
One rather interesting feed pulled threads from broadband forum site Whirlpool, which helps the ISP stay in touch with how customers might be experiencing problems on iiNet's network or the networks it relies on. The company's social media liaisons hope to eventually see the iiNet Tweetstream also appear in the NOC as additional crowd sourced intelligence.
