 Connectivity
Our Networks utilizes connections to multiple
backbones to ensure that data reaches the end-user in the fastest,
most efficient manner possible. We also have peering agreements with
local ISPs to allow fast delivery of packets when
possible.

BGP4 Routing
RedISP.com runs the Border Gate Protocol (BGP4)
for best case routing. Our entirely switched, Cisco powered network
employs Cisco 7000 class routers running HSRP (N+1 hot failover) to
ensure that data can be routed even in the event of a router
failure. The BGP4 protocol is a standard that allows for the routing
of packets of information sent out from the RedISP Network. Each
packet of information is evaluated and sent over the best route
possible. Because of our redundant network architecture, packets may
be sent via alternative routes even if they are being delivered to
the same end user. Should one of our providers fail, packets leaving
our network are automatically redirected through another route via a
different provider.

Guaranteed packet
Delivery
RedISP.com pays
our providers to make sure that packets of information are delivered
to the end user. This offers significant advantages over simply
peering with the major backbones. Peering agreements rarely include
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) so no one is accountable for lost
packets at congested exchange points. RedISP.com has SLAs with all
our providers, we are able to guarantee that all packets will leave
our network at full speed.

Bandwidth Utilization
Our Network currently has plenty of excess
capacity, even during peak hours. This allows for us to accommodate
even the largest spikes in traffic that are often associated with
the most popular web sites. We are always adding network
connectivity and new routes in an effort to make sure content is
delivered to your users as efficiently as possible. A low bandwidth
utilization also allows for maximum uptime, even if one of our
providers has an outage ...just another reason to out source your
server to RedISP Networks.
