Ian MacDonald

Solutions Architect PlanB New Zealand

Approximately 18 months ago our leadership team made the strategic decision to find a new partner for our network services. We were experiencing delays with service delivery, ongoing billing issues and overall slow response times from our previous supplier. Our company is growing fast, and our customers data requirements are ever increasing, with that in mind we set out to find a partner who was agile, responsive and customer focused. NextHop has played a key role in strengthening our network capabilities. Their dark fibre offering provides flexibility and scalability; their IP transit services have ensured reliable, high-performance and cost-effective internet for our customers. Beyond the technology, their team stands out for its responsiveness and commitment to service excellence. We view them as a strategic partner rather than just a supplier and intend to exclusively use them for our network needs into the future.

Martin Reidy

Head of Operations

I would just like to say thank you again for getting us online on such short notice. It was a seamless and simple process which was very refreshing. Looking forward to a long relationship between NSB Cyber and NextHop.

What is IP Transit?

Technically, IP Transit simply refers to a service that an Internet Service Provider (ISP) offers its downstream clients to allow their Internet traffic to traverse the ISP’s network in order to reach other networks on the Internet.

Also known as “transit”, IP Transit is wholesale, BGP enabled Internet for the use of ISPs, Carrier and large Enterprises with AS numbers. Nexthop’s IP transit provides our full Internet routing, plus other peers’ downstream routes. When comparing IP transit, some routes are better than others, some bandwidth capabilities better than others, some lower latency, and so on. We partner with Tier One providers to get the best domestic and international routes and peer inside some of Australia’s most popular data centres.

To be able to purchase IP transit, you must also have an AS number, be familiar with and run BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). By purchasing IP transit, you’ll receive a full BGP table that contains the prefixes of our other customers, prefixes of our ISP peers, and the prefixes of any other upstream providers.

What are the key benefits of Nexthop IP transit?

Full routing visibility: Gain visibility into your IP transit and routes. Choose the routes that provide the best outcomes for your business or utilise BGP through our tier one connections. Control and configure to your own specification via communities.
Network performance: Australia has a unique set of challenges for Internet performance, with a relatively dense population in major capital cities, with huge distances and very low density between centres. Nexthop understands the importance of reach and performance across the Australian continent, and have built our backbone and interconnects to ensure we can deliver the best possible experience for our downstream clients to reach the largest population centres in Australia.
Commercial flexibility: Nexthop provides burstable access, aggregated billing and flexible contract terms. We offer bespoke commercial terms to clients based on their traffic profiles and requirements.
Arista core networks for lowest latency: Nexthop provides a full-featured Arista core network with east and west submarine cable paths leaving Australian shores.

How IP transit works?

IP transit is a dedicated Internet service provided by (and to) ISPs, routing Internet traffic from one network to another. The service allows a network operator (the customer) to connect to the global Internet through the ISP's backbone network. The ISP provides a connection to its network, usually at a datacentre via a dedicated cross connect or over a vlan on an Internet Exchange (IX) peering point, providing routing information via BGP to the customer, enabling the customer's network to reach other networks on the Internet. The customer pays a fee for a fixed amount of dedicated bandwidth capacity (commited information rate) and can access burst capacity above this at a 95th percentile rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

: IP transit and peering both facilitate the exchange of Internet traffic between networks, but differ in the nature of the relationship between the networks and traffic flow.

IP Transit: In IP transit, a network operator (the customer) pays another network operator (the provider) for access to the provider's network and for the privilege of transmitting data over it. The provider operates a backbone, providing a connection to the wider Internet.

Peering: Peering refers to agreement between two network operators to exchange traffic with each other directly, typically for free and with minimal third-party involvement. In many cases, a neutral peering exchange/fabric, also referred to as an “IX”, may facilitate the peering between two network operators. Peering usually involves network counterparties of a similar size, and both networks benefit from reduced transit costs and improved performance.

In summary, IP transit is a commercial Internet service with guaranteed capacity where one network provides Internet access to another, while peering is a mutually beneficial agreement between network operators to exchange traffic.
: This is something we’re often asked, but it is perhaps the wrong question. The two products are different solutions for different businesses, with different requirements.

DIA, or Dedicated Internet Access, is an alternative to broadband Internet, built for use by enterprise and business clients. Nexthop partners generally procure this service to resell to the partner’s customer base.

IP Transit is a wholesale only product, built to service the requirements of ISPs, carriers, cloud platform providers and other such entities that require bulk capacity, and bring their own IP address space.

In summary, the biggest difference really is DIA is an Internet connection for end users using the ISP's IP address. IP Transit is for an ISP to advertise their RIR allocated address space through BGP to the world via on or more IP transit providers (upstreams).
: IP transit requires that the customer has an AS number, adequate IP space, an understanding of BGP networking, equipment capable of ingesting the full Internet routing table and enough demand for capacity to warrant the cost and complexity of connecting to an IP Transit backbone. Most enterprises don’t have the scale of utilisation to warrant this, but for those that do, we can certainly provide an IP Transit service!

Enterprise and business clients are, overwhelmingly, better serviced with a DIA solution. This is simply because the product is designed to be consumed the way a business expects an Internet service to be delivered, meaning WAN IP addresses, routes to the Internet, and routing table requirements are all handled by Nexthop.
: The answer to this depends on how much capacity you need, how many ports, and where we need to interconnect with you. Pricing is billed on a per megabit (Mb - bandwidth, not data) basis, with allowances for burst traffic with a 95th percentile mechanism. At Nexthop, you can get 1G premium blend Carrier Grade IP Transit from $899/month.
: Broadband refers to high-speed Internet connections, allowing faster data transmission when compared to legacy dial-up services. Broadband is delivered through various technologies, including coaxial cable, fibre optic cable, satellite, and DSL, each with its own unique limitations. In general terms "broadband" refers to download speeds of 25 Mbps or higher.

Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) refers to private, direct connections to the Internet that is dedicated solely to an organization or an individual. Unlike broadband, which refers to shared connections, DIA services are dedicated, providing guaranteed bandwidth and much better performance and reliability. DIA is often used by businesses and organisations that require reliable and secure Internet connections for mission-critical applications and services. DIA is typically delivered through fibre optic cables, offering faster, more reliable speed when compared to broadband connections.

While both broadband and DIA are types of Internet connections, they differ in terms of speed, reliability, security, and the type of users they are intended for. Broadband is suitable for residential and small business use, while DIA is a dedicated and private Internet connection that is best suited for large organizations and businesses that require a secure and reliable Internet connection.
