IP Transit

Direct access to the global Internet.

SMARTNET IP Transit provides dedicated connectivity to networks worldwide. Customers can receive a full BGP table, a default route or static routing over physical handoffs or redundant GRE delivery.

Transit and protection are operated as one service, so routing incidents, capacity questions and mitigation requirements go directly to the engineers running AS203446.

SMARTNET routing infrastructure
Network

Built for high-volume, latency-sensitive traffic.

SMARTNET operates a multi-terabit network with multiple transit providers, internet exchanges and private interconnections. Edge and core redundancy preserve service during failures and traffic bursts.

Automated prefix-filter updates, BFD, multiple BGP sessions and custom routing policy are available for networks that require predictable convergence and direct engineering control.

Multiple upstreamsIndependent transit paths and resilient edge routing.
Direct peeringShorter paths to major content and access networks.
Multi-terabit capacityHeadroom for production traffic and large attacks.
Juniper and Cisco edgeRedundant routing platforms across the footprint.

Delivery

Installation and SLA targets.

Provisioning is coordinated directly with the network team, including routing validation and cross-connect documentation.

How long does installation take?

BGP can be configured within one business day when the port and cross-connect are ready. Physical cross-connect delivery depends on the facility.

SLA targets

  • 0% packet loss target
  • 99.5% availability
  • Europe latency below 40 ms
  • US East Coast below 100 ms
  • US West Coast below 195 ms
