Our BGP session service is designed for clients with sophisticated networking requirements, including:
Integrating a BGP session with your dedicated server is more than a technical feature; it's a strategic advantage. It's the key to building a truly independent, scalable, and resilient online infrastructure.
Announce and manage your own IP prefixes (IPv4/IPv6). You dictate the paths your data takes, allowing for sophisticated traffic engineering, optimized performance, and immediate response to network events.
Leverage the extensive COLO BIRD global network. By establishing a BGP session with us, you gain access to our premium peering with major Tier-1 carriers and internet exchanges, ensuring low-latency connectivity for your users, wherever they are.
Your IP addresses are your digital real estate. With BGP, your ASN and IP subnets are tied to you, not your provider. This gives you the freedom to move your services or add providers in the future without the nightmare of re-numbering your entire network.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. BGP is the foundation of a multihomed network. Connect to COLO BIRD and other upstream providers simultaneously to create a redundant, fault-tolerant setup that guarantees maximum uptime and service availability.
We've made establishing your BGP peering session simple and secure.
Reach out to our team with your Autonomous System Number (ASN) and the IP subnets you wish to announce.
We will provide you with a Letter of Authorization (LOA) template. This industry-standard document is required to formally authorize us to announce your IP prefixes.
Once your details are verified, we will invoice you for the one-time secure onboarding fee.
Our certified network engineers will configure and meticulously test the BGP peering session to ensure stability and flawless route propagation.
Once testing is complete, your prefixes will be announced on our global network! You are now in full control.
We are committed to maintaining a secure and stable internet for everyone. Our BGP services are built on industry standards and best practices.
An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a unique number that identifies a network on the internet. It's essential for managing your own routing policies with BGP. You must acquire one from a Regional Internet Registry (like RIPE or ARIN) before you can use this service.
BYOIP is the practice of using your own portable IP addresses with a hosting provider. A BGP session is the technology that makes this possible, giving you the freedom to move your IPs between providers as needed.
No. BGP is designed for announcing blocks of IP addresses, known as subnets or prefixes. The minimum size for an IPv4 prefix that is generally accepted across the global internet is a /24 (256 addresses). For IPv6, it is typically a /48.
Not necessarily. You can run BGP software (like BIRD or FRR) directly on your dedicated server. For more complex setups, you can use a dedicated hardware or virtual firewall/router. Our team can advise on the best solution for your needs.
