Elixir Solutions Provider Pty Ltd // Solutions // Global IP Transit

The Internet today is far different than the Internet of a mere five years ago. Instead of simple Web pages serving up text and graphics, the Internet has become a popular domain for voice and video communications, as well as real time applications for corporations.

At the same time, new domains, networks, end-users, and even whole regions like China, India and South America are getting online and getting connected. Content is no longer restricted to a few well-connected, centralised domains and network in the US, but spread far and wide across continents, cultures and languages.

In this new, more complex and far-reaching Internet, Pacnet have rolled out a global backbone that is robust in both capacity and diversity. We have built much of our Internet backbone directly over our regional subsea cable system, and paired it with one of the most extensive peering portfolios in the Asia Pacific as well as with global backbone and upstream operators.

As a result, Pacnet Global IP Transit service now offers one-hop access to all major destinations in cyberspace on a platform that is both scalable in bandwidth and rich in service features such as Tiered and Burstable bandwidth subscription and Web-based performance monitoring.

Technical Description

Full Pipe - Fixed bandwidth port that will enable you to manage fixed costs for your business
Tiered Pipe - Fixed bandwidth port provisioned at a lower bandwidth to enable additional capacity to be turned up in a shorter provisioning interval. This option allows for enhanced cost control while maintaining rapid scalability

Full and Tiered Pipe, plus Burstable - Enables you to select a tiered bandwidth level for a fixed fee and pay for any additional usage on a per Mbps basis based on 95/5 percentile calculation. This option supports dynamic bandwidth requirements with maximum burstable bandwidth that is 2x the committed bandwidth or port speed whichever is lower
Country Specific Routes include Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and Westbound Europe (SMW3/4) IP Transit routes

Service Features

A secondary DNS (Domain Name System) can be provided as an element of the IP Transit Service. This facility acts as the customer's DNS, and matches computer IP address number to Internet ID's

This service option allows for distribution of Netnews information from a number of Internet Netnews servers to the customer's own news server

The customer's Autonomous System (i.e. IP network) will be connected via the optional BGP-4 (Border Gateway Protocol Version 4) routing

If needed, we can supply the customer with a limited number of IP addresses, subject to conditions.
