A single membership to the Pakistan Internet Exchange (Advance Net work) provides you the fastest and simplest way to take control of your network traffic and establish low-latency connections with more than 950 global members.
What is Peering?
Peering has served as the primary method of exchanging internet traffic between networks for decades.
Connecting to an Internet Exchange allows you to establish peering with hundreds of other networks across a single physical port. Members can setup or remove bilateral peering sessions with networks without the need to reprovision circuits or order additional cross connects.
Benefits of Peering with Advance Net work
- Gain greater network resilience and lower latency
- Increase control and enhance security of your network traffic
- Connect directly via a single cross connect or remotely through one of our layer 2 reseller partners
Peering is available at all Advance Net work locations.
Peering at Advance Net work Includes:
- Single mode fibre and optics for all ports
- Support for 10G, 100G and 400G ports with fractional peering bandwidths available
- Advance Net work members receive a 10G port and 2Gbps of our service at multiple Advance Net work locations — this could be up to 16Gbps of services across Pakistan
- Advance Net work Protect provides RTBH based DDoS mitigation
Bilateral and Multilateral Peering
To get the most out of peering, you need to connect to other Advance Net work members and exchange traffic.
Multilateral peering using our Route Servers makes this simpler by using a single agreement or BGP session to connect you to tens of thousands of route prefixes. We recommend this service for members who need instantaneous traffic flows.
Remote Peering
Through our network of global carrier partners, you can still access Advance Net work’s peering network even if you aren’t near a Advance Net work-enabled data centre – so any network can peer at key Advance net work locations throughout Pakistan.
