IP Transit
IP Transit.
Transit from a largely optical network built for voice, where congestion is treated as a defect. Roughly 90% of our traffic flows directly to the peer network - an exceptionally high ratio - with the balance over top-tier transit. Our ports are specified to carry the full network load if they ever need to.
The best user experience comes from networks that peer heavily. Tier 1s hand traffic to other tier 1s across big, busy networks, with every hop an opportunity for congestion, latency and jitter. Tier 2 networks peer with each other directly - by fibre or at exchanges like LINX - because their business model depends on it. The tier 1s may look like the core of the doughnut, but most of the traffic lives in the ring. That's where we sit, and why our transit performs.
Tier-2 networks peer directly with each other, by fibre or at exchanges like LINX, avoiding the congested tier-1-to-tier-1 hops where latency and jitter accumulate. Roughly 90% of Simwood's traffic flows directly to the peer network.
Simwood's ports are specified to carry the full network load if they ever need to, and on a network built for voice, congestion is treated as a defect.
Same core, same API, same intelligence - whatever door you come in through.
