Network Information
Connectivity
Your website is hosted on servers that are connected to the Internet through 11 redundant connections with such large backbone providers as Level 3, GBLX, Internap, Voxel, Equinix, Nlayer. This ensures that your website will always be available by the most direct and quickest means available.
- Multiple OC192 (10 Gb Ethernet) connections.
- Utilizing redundant Juniper routers and Cisco switches.
- Full Gigabit Public and Private network in the datacenter.
Routing
The NOC utilizes Border Gate Protocol (BGP4) in conjunction with Internap's FCP-10Gx routing optimization service. BGP4 protocol is the standard that allows for routing of packets of information sent out from the NOC, ensuring redundancy by routing traffic over the most efficient route possible. Should one of the backbone providers fail, packets are automatically redirected through another one.
