Network services & IP transit

A transit session is a BGP peering with our routers. You announce your prefixes to us; we announce a full routing table to you, or a single default route if you would rather keep your edge simple. From that moment your address space is reachable everywhere our network reaches, and the global internet is reachable through us.

Sessions are dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6 over the same peering) and support the traffic engineering you would expect: BGP communities and MED to steer traffic, and prefix filtering built from your IRR objects and validated against RPKI, so a mis-origination on either side is dropped rather than propagated.

Upstream, every transit port we run is 100 Gbit/s or faster, so the capacity behind your session is not the constraint.

Ports and commit levels are matched to your traffic profile: from a modest commit on a shared port up to dedicated high-capacity ports for volume customers. Tell us your expected volume and target markets and we will put together options.

DDoS protection here is not a separate product you route to when something goes wrong. It runs inline and always on, at the same network edge that carries your transit. Traffic is inspected and filtered before it reaches you, so an attack is absorbed in the backbone rather than at your doorstep.

Every metro has its own Corero NTD1100 in the forwarding path, so an attack is dropped where it lands rather than hauled to a scrubbing centre first. There is no redirect to wait for: attack traffic is filtered in under a second.

Mitigation profiles are tuned for the traffic our customers actually run: common web and application patterns, and specific game-server titles. You keep self-service control over the filtering rules for your own prefixes.

Need addresses? Lease IPv4 and IPv6 from our pools, sized to your deployment. Already hold your own space? Bring it: we will announce your prefixes from AS55285 once we have a valid Letter of Authorisation and your IRR and RPKI (ROA) records line up.

Additional IPv4 addresses are available for a small monthly fee, and are always assigned as a subnet rather than as scattered single addresses, so your allocation stays contiguous and routable as one prefix — ask your account contact for current pricing.

Everything is dual-stack by default. IPv6 is native on our network, not bolted on, so you can build IPv6-first and treat IPv4 as the compatibility layer it is becoming.

Our routers sit in carrier-neutral facilities operated by the likes of Netrality, DataBank and Digital Realty. If you are in one of the same buildings, or can reach them, a cross-connect puts your equipment directly onto our fabric, with no middle-mile in between.

We peer settlement-free at the internet exchanges we sit on, with an open policy registered on PeeringDB, and offer remote hands for the times you cannot be on site. See the full live footprint on our network page, and facility addresses and compliance on our datacenters page.
