IP Transit Services

IP Transit is a service that allows an Internet service provider (ISP) to connect its network to the rest of the Internet. This is done by exchanging traffic with other ISPs through a process called peering. ISPs that provide IP transit are called transit providers.

The key features of IP Transit:

• BGP: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is used to exchange routing information between ISPs.
• ASNs: Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) are used to identify ISPs.
• POPs: Points of Presence (POPs) are locations where ISPs exchange traffic.

 

The benefits of IP Transit:

• Access to the entire Internet: IP Transit allows ISPs to provide their customers with access to the entire Internet.
• Improved performance: IP Transit can improve the performance of an ISP’s network by reducing congestion and latency.
• Reduced costs: IP Transit can reduce the costs of an ISP’s network by eliminating the need to peer with every other ISP on the Internet.
