## Network
|
|
|
|
{{< image width="15em" float="right" src="/assets/dwdm.png" alt="DWDM spectrum" >}}
|
|
|
|
Our network consists of routers and interconnections in two main sites in the Zurich metro: eShelter
|
|
(NTT) in Ruemlang (next to the airport), and Interxion ZUR1 in Glattbrugg. These two locations are
|
|
connected with dark fiber, and we have access to several local loop providers in both locations. For
|
|
example, we can arrange connectivity to Colozueri, Equinix ZH4 and Equinix ZH5 directly, and using
|
|
our partners (such as IP-Max, Init7, Openfactory), domestically and to most european cities.
|
|
|
|
You can read more about our network in this [informative post]({% post_url 2021-02-27-network %}).

|
### IP Transit
|
|
|
|
We operate [[AS8298](https://as8298.peeringdb.com/)] which announces `AS-IPNG` for ourselves and our
|
|
transit customers. We're pretty firmly connected in and around Zurich, with a 10Gbit link to
|
|
SwissIX, CommunityIX and CH-IX. We have a diverse set of transit providers which give us good reach
|
|
to the world, including via Cogent AS174, Hurricane Electric AS6939, and for strong european
|
|
presence, we receive transit from OpenFactory AS58299, Meerfarbig AS34549, and IP-Max AS25091.
|
|
|
|
Gaining access to this wealth of IPv4 and IPv6 coverage is as easy as finding an L2 connection to
|
|
one of our points of presence, establishing a BGP session to us, and announcing your netblock(s).
|
|
We'll take it from there!
|
|
|
|
You can read more about our BGP capabilities in this [informative post]({% post_url 2021-02-27-network %}).

### Local Loop Ethernet
|
|
|
|
Apropos, getting onto the internet is pretty easy if you are in a commercial colocation facility. Of
|
|
course, any internet provider will offer various quality IPv4 and IPv6 connections with or without a
|
|
static IP address. However getting from your house to the datacenter is often the most complicated
|
|
and expensive project. At IPng, we had this challenge too -- and considering we solved it for
|
|
ourselves, we can certainly also solve it for you! With our residential last-mile ISP collaboration
|
|
(for example, ConnectionPoint, Init7, Solnet, and Swisscom BBCS), L2 services directly to your
|
|
residence or office become easily possible.
|
|
|
|
## Colocation
|
|
|
|
We operate a private colocation facility in Zurich Albisrieden. The facility has 3x200A of power and
|
|
about 60m2 of floor space. Hosting one or several machines, including Layer2 connectivity either to
|
|
your own home, or to the main internet hubs of Zurich, are easily accomplished in our colocation
|
|
facility. If more space is needed, we are regulars in most all Swiss carrier housing facilities, and
|
|
can help broker a deal that is tailored to your needs.
|
|
|
|
You can read more about how we built our own colocation from scratch in this [informative post]({%

## Project Design / Execution
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
We design things, both logical and physical. Be it two dimensional or three dimensional, as life
|
|
long tinkerers, we have a fair bit of experience in mechanical and electrical engineering. Of
|
|
course, as a network business, designing and deploying autonomous systems and networks of any size
|
|
is our home turf. Also fundamentally understanding how a network should perform, be it throughput,
|
|
bandwidth, latency or jitter and packet loss: we've seen it all, from ADSL lines to 300km DWDM
|
|
spans.
|
|
|
|
