IP Transit
IP Transit is a service provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that allows network operators, such as internet service providers, data centers, content delivery networks (CDNs), or large enterprises, to access the global internet through the provider’s infrastructure.
In simpler terms, IP Transit gives your network the ability to send and receive data from the rest of the internet. It is usually delivered over a high-speed Ethernet connection and includes routing services via the BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). When a network purchases IP Transit, it is essentially paying for bandwidth and routing advertisement to the full internet.
This service is crucial for networks that maintain their own Autonomous System (AS) and require direct global internet reach, rather than just local or limited connectivity.
1) Full Internet Routing via BGP IP Transit provides full BGP routes, allowing the customer’s autonomous system (AS) to intelligently route traffic across the global internet. This allows for flexibility and control over how traffic enters and exits their network.
2) Scalable and High-Capacity Connectivity IP Transit is built for high throughput, often delivered over 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, or even 100 Gbps ports, and can be easily scaled up based on a customer’s traffic volume and business needs.
3) Essential for ISPs and Global Networks Unlike DIA (Dedicated Internet Access), which is for end-users, IP Transit is intended for networks that serve others, such as ISPs, hosting providers, or content networks. It enables them to reach every network on the internet by leveraging the transit provider’s global reach.
