Tier 1 and Route 1 Algorithm
The Business Internet Access is a carrier class, resilient, multi-tiered Internet solution. It consists of multiple geographically-dispersed IP gateways that interface with the core Internet backbone which is made up of multiple Internet Tier 1 providers. The advantage of us using a number of Tier 1 providers is that it means we are not reliant on any single global network provider thus preventing a single point of failure of an Internet service to our customers.
Route 1 is a proprietary piece of technology that sits on top of BGP routing and analyses the traffic passing through our Tier 1 providers. It performs real-time tests on each possible route the data could take to get to our customers' desired destinations. It then routes the data via the pathway offering the best available performance on: response time, hop count, jitter and packet loss. Route 1 is unique to our provider. Most providers use standard BGP routing alone, which only considers the number of network hops when making routing decisions. When your users access the Internet they are automatically sent on the fastest route available, at that moment, for that destination, ensuring you benefit from the fastest connection speeds in the UK.
Key benefits
• Our Internet service is not reliant on any one provider
• Guarantees a higher level of Internet performance
• Reduces connection times by 10-50%
• Route 1 is a complimentary addition to all of our Internet services
• Low latency; intelligent QoS and SLAs for mission-critical applications
• Full DNS and IP registration and addressing
• Resilient failover IP gateway giving 99.9% network uptime, with the option of back-up to offer 99.999%
In essence, Route 1 functionality allows more intelligence in route selection.
