What is 95th percentile billing?
95th percentile billing is a commonly used method for calculating bandwidth usage. Throughout the month, all traffic measurements are recorded at regular intervals. The top 50f peaks (about 36 hours per month) are then disregarded, and pricing is based on the highest remaining value. This helps avoid extra costs from exceptional and temporary traffic spikes.
What is the difference between the offered technologies?
Here is an overview of the available technologies:
- VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN): Ideal for extending local networks across multiple sites by encapsulating data for compatibility with multi-cloud environments.
- EOIP (Ethernet Over IP): Enables connecting remote networks by creating Ethernet tunnels over the Internet.
- GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation): Used to encapsulate various protocols in a point-to-point connection, ideal for environments requiring simplified interconnection.
- XCO (Cross-Connect Optical): Provides direct, ultra-fast physical connectivity within a data center. Perfect for connections requiring very low latency.

What is a BGP session?
A BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) session allows for the dynamic management and exchange of network routes between multiple autonomous systems (ASNs). To use our transit services, you must have your own personal ASN (Autonomous System Number). This ensures independent and optimized management of your network routes.
Why is a minimum of one IP address required, and others optional? What is the benefit?
A single IP address is essential for your infrastructure to be accessible on the Internet. The assigned IP address uniquely identifies your online services.
- Additional IP addresses are useful for:
- Hosting multiple services or sites on separate IPs.
- Meeting specific security or compliance requirements (activity separation).
- Avoiding restrictions associated with sharing a single IP address.
Do I have to have my own ASN?
Yes, an ASN (Autonomous System Number) is mandatory for our transit services. It allows you to manage your own network routes and ensures complete independence for your infrastructure. If you do not have one, you can obtain your own IP blocks and network via our managed BGP hosting offers.
