Redundant Port and Capacity Rules
We encourage to connect to multiple core sites for redundancy and therefore higher availability.
The following rules apply in order to receive redundant ports at no additional cost:
- for each paid BGP Port at a core site, you can get a free Backup-Port (with same Port and Service Speed) at a different core site
- aggregated traffic on all ports must stay below 80% (peak) of the total capacity of paid ports
E.g. if you order a 10G BGP Portwith 10G Service Speed in Datacenter A and a 10G BGP Backup Port in Datacenter B, traffic in sum must stay below 8G on both Ports.
Traffic may be shared amongst the two ports freely – as long as the total usage measures below 80%.
