having reliable access to the global internet is no longer optional—it’s a business imperative. Whether you’re an internet service provider (ISP), a content provider, or an enterprise with a growing digital footprint, IP Transit plays a crucial role in ensuring seamless connectivity to the rest of the world.
What is IP Transit?
IP Transit is a service where one network (typically your business or ISP) pays another (usually a Tier 1 or Tier 2 provider) for the right to pass traffic through their backbone to reach the global internet. In simple terms, it’s your gateway to the full routing table of the internet, allowing your users or customers to connect with any destination online.
How Does It Work?
Using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), IP Transit enables the exchange of routing information between your network and the provider’s network. This allows traffic to find the most efficient path to its destination, ensuring low latency and high reliability.
With a single or multi-homed IP Transit setup, you gain access to:
- Global reach through Tier 1 ISPs
- Redundant connectivity for higher uptime
- Autonomous control over routing decisions
- Scalable bandwidth for growing traffic demands
