Network Architecture

Better than OC3 (155 Mbps) Connectivity
Our Network Operations Center is OnNet with Frontier GlobalCenter (a Tier 1 provider servicing sites such as Yahoo! and Netscape) and Qwest Communications through two separate bandwidth on demand connections, which means that we have a direct fiber optic connection between our Cisco 7200 router and theirs. With these two carriers, our router will have up to 150,000 possible routes to send each packet of traffic.
Fiber Optic Backbone Connection
Being OnNet with a Tier-1 provider means that we don't link to a backbone, we are actually directly on a backbone. Our direct fiber optic line can handle several times the bandwidth of an OC3 with Frontier Global Center's Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology.
Reliable Connection
Yahoo! also connects directly using only Frontier GlobalCenter. If you can reach Yahoo!, you can reach our network. Frontier GlobalCenter's ground-breaking 460 Gbps network runs Border Gateway Protocol to 25 other major carriers through over 25 high-speed private peering arrangements, providing the fastest, most efficient and most reliable network available today.
Network Redundancy
Because we are OnNet with Frontier GlobalCenter and Qwest, we share their digital distribution architecture, which includes private peering network connections to major Internet carriers such as MCI, Sprint, UUNET, EUNET, AT&T, AOL, Best, Erols, @Home, IBM Advantis and others.
Incredible Connection
Some web providers operate an additional dial-up Internet service which slows down their connection to the Internet. We are not Internet Access providers -- our scalable bandwidth lines are entirely dedicated to web hosting.
Route Optimization
GlobalNetHosting uses intelligent end-user routing software called Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), between Qwest and Frontier GlobalCenter, who use it as well.  BGP technology which allows the traffic to your site to travel more efficiently by finding the best route for data to travel. On a typical server the traffic always takes the same route from client to server. For them, if there is a bad node, traffic does not get through at all. Because we use BGP protocol, different and more efficient routes are taken between client and server depending on traffic loads and broken nodes. This means our servers automatically look for the fastest route available. Low Latency/High Throughput Often providers operate their networks at three to four times responsible capacity, and as a result the corresponding transfer times reach over 300ms for each hop along the net. Our network daily average is 6.5% of its capacity, with mid-day peak spikes reaching only 15.5% capacity. Our transfer times range from 15 to 80ms routinely.
