Our services are provided through "OnNet" with Frontier Global Center (FGC),
which means that we have a direct fiber optic connection between our Cisco
7200 router and theirs. Being OnNet with a Tier-1 provider means that we
don't link to a backbone, we are actually on a backbone. We have no phone
circuit, and do not use a Telecom link to get to the Internet; instead, we
have an in-house connection directly to FGC's ATM fiber node, located a few
floors below our servers in the same building. This fiber optic line can
handle the bandwidth of a T3 or an OC3, and with FGC's Dense Wave Division
Multiplexing (DWDM) technology, it can handle several times the bandwidth of
an OC3.
Multiple Backbones:
We share the digital distribution architecture of FGC, which is comprised of
more than 25 high-speed private peering connections to major Internet
carriers such as MCI, Sprint, UUNET, AT&T, AOL, Best, Erols, and others. FGC
also has high-speed links to 8 public exchanges including both MAE East and
West and several NAPS. To use an analogy, the private peering connections
allow data to travel from New York to LA on a non-stop flight, while the
public exchanges require a stop over.
Route Optimization:
We have a large investment in BGP (Border Gate Protocol) technology, which
allows the traffic to your site to travel more efficiently by finding the
best route for data to travel. On a typical server the traffic always takes
the same route from client to server. For them, if there is a bad node,
traffic does not get through at all. Because we use BGP protocol, different
and more efficient routes are taken between client and server depending on
traffic loads and broken nodes. This means our servers automatically look
for the fastest route available.
Low Latency/High Throughput:
Often providers operate their networks at three to four times responsible
capacity, and as a result the corresponding transfer times reach over 300ms
for each hop along the net. Our network daily average is 6.5% of its
capacity, with mid-day peak spikes reaching only 15.5% capacity. Our
transfer times range from 15 to 80ms routinely.
