Pros/cons of owning own IPs

[D. Strout]

That's why we don't buy our own.

Huh?

Huh? 

Sorry, I was on my phone so I tried to keep it brief. We don't buy our own bandwidth.

 

[D. Strout]

So from what I've seen, you just peer with your datacenter, and then get all your bandwidth from them, with all their peering agreements. Is that how it works? As opposed to, say, RamNode, who have set up their own peering/bandwidth with Tinet and nLayer?

 

[KuJoe]

It works exactly the same. You setup a BGP session with your data center (or even static routes will work for data center peering) and you're done.

It all depends on scale. Buying your own bandwidth and blending only makes sense when you have a huge commit and usage.
