ROUTING & INTERCONNECT

Fewer unnecessary hand-offs. More control over how traffic enters the platform.

Peering and private interconnect strategy is used to reduce avoidable transit, stabilize route selection and keep high-volume traffic close to the network edge.

01 / SOURCEASN

Traffic or control enters a defined service boundary.

02 / PEERINGBGP

Policy and placement are evaluated against current state.

03 / BACKBONEPRIVATE

The workload is processed by the appropriate infrastructure layer.

04 / EDGEDELIVER

Telemetry is preserved so the path can be explained operationally.

01 / NETWORK MODEL

The network is part of the service logic.

BitActive uses a layered network model: public Anycast ingress at the edge, controlled regional paths, private interconnects where they improve route quality, and explicit origin connectivity. The intent is to keep the path understandable enough that an operator can explain why traffic entered a location, where it was processed and which dependency added latency.

The 310+ edge-location footprint and 42 deployment regions shown across the BitActive platform describe the global delivery fabric. Capacity is engineered as an aggregate network, while individual services are placed only where their traffic profile and operational requirements justify presence. That distinction avoids treating every location as interchangeable.

02 / ROUTE PATH

The diagram is a logical service path. Exact routing, placement and capacity are selected per workload and service profile.

03 / NETWORK ENGINEERING

Route quality, capacity and observability together.

01

Anycast ingress

Advertise service entry points so users reach an appropriate edge while preserving the ability to steer around route or capacity events.

02

Peering strategy

Use direct interconnects where traffic concentration and route quality justify them, reducing avoidable transit and hand-offs.

03

Backbone control

Keep regional traffic paths explicit so origin and cross-region traffic do not depend on accidental public-internet route selection.

04

Performance evidence

Track latency percentiles, route state, request timing and upstream health so network decisions can be tied to observed behaviour.

04 / OPERATIONS

Network changes carry operational context.

Routing changes are treated as production changes. Policy, maintenance and interconnect events are reviewed against expected traffic paths and service dependencies. Monitoring focuses on conditions that require action: route loss, sustained latency shifts, packet-loss patterns, capacity pressure and upstream health.

The result is a network that can support CDN, streaming, SaaS and enterprise workloads without pretending that every packet follows one perfect route. The platform is designed to make those route decisions visible and manageable when conditions change.
