IP Transit

GTT’s top ranked, Tier 1 IP network spans over 600 PoPs, which are located in the world’s leading data centers, ensuring seamless internet service on a global basis. Our network maintains extensive peering relationships with other major global carriers and access providers to ensure traffic reaches its intended destination quickly and efficiently.

GTT’s leading Tier 1 IP network includes Nx100G global capacity to easily scale with your business. We transport over 14 Tbps of traffic across the network at any point in time, powering some of the most popular destinations on the internet.

Our global IP network is built upon carrier-class routing infrastructure, allowing bandwidth-heavy traffic to reach its destination with minimal lag or jitter. We continuously upgrade our network and assess performance to eliminate bottlenecks and ensure that there is sufficient capacity to handle sudden, unpredictable demand.

GTT is among the first large global Tier 1 operators to apply Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI), a mechanism to make Internet routing more secure. RPKI enables an IP address space holder, authorised at the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) level, to create a Route Origin Authorization (ROA) record, which sets out which Autonomous System can originate their routing prefix. This, in turn, enables network operators such as GTT to perform route origin validation and decline any invalids.

We have deployed RPKI-based route origin validation filtering on all BGP sessions with both clients and peers throughout our global network footprint. With a ROA record covering their IP routes, our clients can rest assured that their IP announcements are further secured from routing leaks or hijacks throughout the entire GTT global network.

GTT offers one of the most advanced and flexible BGP Community systems in the industry, providing clients with detailed route information and complete control over advertisements, by neighbor ASN, continent, region or city. We also offer industry-leading route server and Looking Glass tools to provide insight on traffic performance, including backbone routing and network efficiency statistics.

We provide a variety of bandwidth speeds as well as diverse billing options, including flat-rate, tiered and burstable services for true on-demand services and maximum flexibility.

Alternatively, an aggregate committed data rate (ACDR) plan can be shared across multiple ports and locations, ensuring that you have bandwidth available where and as you need it and that you don’t overpay for idle capacity.

GTT is an industry leader in the deployment and support of IPv6 networking. Our dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 network is built on carrier-class routing and optical infrastructure. This allows us to deliver line-rate IPv6 performance to every PoP and to provide IPv6 service seamlessly alongside existing IPv4 services. IPv6 service is available for all our existing IPv4 clients at no additional charge.
