Networking & BGP
UP‑NETWORK’s network solutions provide high‑performance IP transit, private tunnels and BGP services from our Swiss infrastructure. All solutions are delivered from our primary PoP in Gland with a backup PoP in Zurich. Each service includes SwissShield DDoS protection, 24/7 support and BGP sessions to announce your own ASN or prefixes.
🌐 Overview
Our network products are built on a fully redundant backbone with direct connectivity to Tier‑1 carriers, multiple peering exchanges and CDN partners. Services are delivered over 10 Gbit/s uplinks with burst capacity up to 20 Gbit/s and support IPv4/IPv6 with reverse DNS. Commit rates start from 100 Mbps up to 1 Gbps, with discounts for quarterly, semi‑annual and annual contracts.
🚏 IP Transit & Cross‑Connect (UP‑Connect)
UP‑Connect provides professional IP transit for customers colocated in our datacenter.
PoP: available only at our Gland datacenter.
Commit: start from 300 Mbps, burst up to 20 Gbit/s.
BGP included: announce your own prefixes or use ours.
99.95 % availability target and 24/7 support.
Optional DDoS protection.
Cross‑connect: physical interconnect to your rack (housing client eligibility required).
This service is ideal for customers needing high‑performance transit within the datacenter.
🌐 UP‑Transport Tunnels (GRE/VXLAN)
UP‑Transport offers secure Layer‑3 (GRE) or Layer‑2/3 (VXLAN) tunnels between your infrastructure and UP‑NETWORK.
PoPs: choose Gland or Zurich for your tunnel endpoint.
Commit rate: 100 Mbps – 1 Gbps (example shown at 300 Mbps).
Tunnel type: GRE (L3) or VXLAN (L2/L3).
Burst capacity: up to 20 Gbit/s.
BGP session: included by default.
DDoS protection: optional, +CHF 20/month.
Contract periods: monthly, quarterly (–2 %), semi‑annual (–5 %) or annual (–10 %, installation fee waived).
UP‑Transport is perfect for low‑latency transport between Zurich and Gland, GRE/VXLAN edge‑tunnelling, or building a private network across sites.
🧠 BGP-as-a-Service
Customers can activate BGP sessions on any network solution:
Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP): announce your own IPv4/IPv6 prefixes.
RPKI & IRR: compliant with RPKI validation and IRR filtering.
Community support: no-export, blackhole, no-bogon, as well as UP‑NETWORK-specific communities.
Blackholing & FlowSpec: filter DDoS traffic proactively.
Secure & Dual‑Port packages: for redundancy or additional filtering requirements (see pricing in options).
🛡 SwissShield™ DDoS Protection
SwissShield provides intelligent DDoS mitigation for all network services:
Local mitigation: attacks up to 20 Gbit/s are filtered on our Swiss infrastructure using traffic shaping and heuristics (L3‑L7).
Automatic overflow: larger attacks are redirected via BGP to a Voxility scrubbing centre (> 1 Tbps capacity), then clean traffic is forwarded back to your service.
Partner scrubbing: our partner network offers > 1 Tbps of scrubbing capacity with a core network > 3.5 Tbps.
Roadmap: continuous capacity expansion towards complete independence.
SwissShield combines real‑time detection, BGP signalling and hybrid filtering to keep your services online.
