Tier
1 Network
Connectivity
The servers connect to the Internet through multiple redundant
connections provided by some of the largest backbone providers
in the world - UUNET, Genuity, Global Frontier and Applied
Theory - ensuring data delivery to the end user in the
fastest, most efficient manner possible. Guaranteed 99.9%
uptime by utilizing redundant connections and data centers.
Our
network is fully switched with top quality components from
Cisco Systems. Our
entire N.O.C. is wired with 100Mbps UTP Category 5 wiring.
IL has 2 DS-3s (45Mbps) and 1 OC3 (155Mbps) on separate
and diverse backbones (UUNET, Genuity and Global Frontier).
CT has 2 DS-3s (45Mbps) on separate and diverse backbones
(Global Frontier, Applied Theory).
Routing
Our network utilizes Border Gate Protocol (BGP4). BGP4 protocol
is the standard that allows for routing of packets of information
sent out, thus creating a truly redundant network by routing
traffic over the most efficient route possible. Due to our
redundant entirely switched Cisco powered network, data
is automatically redirected through another route in the
event of a router failure. Should one of our backbone providers
fail, packets are automatically redirected through another
one.
