Our network

We operate our own network, AS197477, with the aim of offering our customers a balanced and high-quality traffic mix. We currently obtain our traffic from three upstream providers. Our core network is designed with multiple redundancies and offers more than enough capacity to respond to both future growth and unforeseeable events such as major DDoS attacks.
An external bandwidth of theoretically 72 Gbit/s is currently available. At the same time, we attach great importance to transparency in this area.
For this reason, you will find our publicly visible Smokeping and Looking Glass in the footer of this website.

Our BGP routers

We offer you a customized and powerful routing infrastructure. We do not rely on standard off-the-shelf routers, but on individually configured Debian 12 machines. This gives us full control over all routing processes and enables us to offer you an unparalleled service.

Why Debian 12?

Instead of relying on a black box like the Juniper routing engines, we use custom-built Debian 12 machines. This allows us deep and flexible control over all network routines and processes. With a pure Linux machine, we have the freedom to optimize the system exactly to our needs without being restricted by proprietary systems.

Bird2 as BGP Routing Daemon

Our routers are powered by Bird2, an advanced BGP routing daemon. Bird2 is known for its reliability, flexibility and performance. By using Bird2, we can route at full line speed, ensuring that your data is routed quickly and efficiently through our network with the lowest possible latency. This combination of powerful hardware and first-class software enables us to deliver outstanding network performance and stability.

High Speed Networking

Our routers are connected to the network with 2x40G LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol). This not only ensures redundancy and reliability, but also extremely high bandwidth. Thanks to this double 40G connection, we can ensure that your data traffic is always processed at maximum speed and reliability without bottlenecks.
