# IP transit, backhaul and addressing

An operator that builds its own access still needs to carry that traffic to its core, reach the internet, and address its subscribers. Netavo provides all three, from its own core network.

## Three services

| Service | What it is | Suited to |
| --- | --- | --- |
| IP transit | Resilient internet transit over IPv4 and IPv6, with BGP | Operators with their own address space and autonomous system |
| Backhaul | Carriage of traffic from exchanges and access networks to your core, and between your own sites and datacentres | Altnets, fibre builders and wireless ISPs reaching a core location |
| IPv4 and IPv6 addressing | Address space provided for your subscribers | ISPs that have no address space of their own |

## Where we hand over

Transit and backhaul are handed over in London and Manchester, at three datacentres, on 1G, 10G or 100G ports. Capacity and routing are agreed between your engineers and ours.

[About our network](https://netavo.com/network)

- **London**: Telehouse North and Telehouse East
- **Manchester**: Pulsant Manchester
- **Port speeds**: 1G, 10G and 100G
- **Routing**: BGP, over IPv4 and IPv6

## Backhaul for an access network

An altnet's fibre, or a wireless ISP's masts, end somewhere short of the operator's core. Backhaul carries that traffic the rest of the way: from exchanges and access networks to your core location, and between your own sites and datacentres.

It is designed around the network you have built, and not around a standard product.

- **From**: Exchanges and access networks
- **To**: Your core, sites and datacentres
- **Designed**: Around your own network

## Addressing, with or without your own

An operator with its own address space and autonomous system announces it through us over BGP. An ISP with neither can be provided with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for its subscribers.

Where public IPv4 addresses are scarce, carrier-grade NAT lets many subscribers share them. It is included with Netavo BNG, with port-block logs recording which subscriber held which address and ports.

- **Your own address space**: Announced over BGP
- **None of your own**: IPv4 and IPv6 provided
- **Sharing IPv4**: CGNAT, included with Netavo BNG

## A network that peers

Netavo operates AS208802. It is a member of LINX, peering on LON1 and LON2 with an open peering policy, and a member of the RIPE NCC.

- **Autonomous system**: AS208802
- **LINX**: LON1 and LON2, open peering policy
- **RIPE NCC**: Member

## How a service is delivered

### 01 Design

Destinations, capacity, addressing and the handover are agreed with your engineers around your own network.

### 02 Deliver

Interconnects are provisioned and tested with your engineers, with a planned migration of existing traffic where required.

### 03 Operate

The service is monitored continuously, with proactive fault management and direct access to the engineering team.

## Discuss transit or backhaul

Tell us where your network is present and what capacity you need. An engineer will respond with a recommended design and partner pricing.
