| Connectivity |
OC3 Connectivity (155 Mb/s): We have an OC3 which is
100 times the size of a T1 and 3.5 times larger than a T3. This line is supported by
several other redundant connections that each tie right into the backbone.

| Route Optimization |
BGP (Border gate Protocol) technology 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 server automatically looks for the fastest route
available.

Advance Route Planning |
We don’t want our servers to be doing the equivalent of
fighting downtown traffic when there’s a residential detour available. We
negotiate with backbone providers the path we want our traffic to take. We avoid the MAE's
where possible since exchanging traffic privately with another backbone is always
preferred. We only go to one of the MAE's if the client’s machine is on a
backbone that only ties to a MAE.

Our backbone providers peer with these
major carriers: |
UUNET
MCI
Sprint
AOL (Although UUNET is taking more and more of their traffic after the ANS-UUNET merger)
PSI
They also peer with more and more smaller companies each day. Also, peering
denotes even exchange, where some smaller companies don't peer, but they pay for a
"peer" to exchange traffic on.
