The following information is provided by the Datacenter service provider.

Ekhwan server is connected to a national backbone that is ranked among the top in the nation. With dual OC3 (155Mbps) connections to several major exchange points, connectivity is being provided through rings around the nation. Direct peering agreements with private and public providers directly at the exchange point level ensure optimum speed, performance and network uptime.

Network traffic utilized by our servers are being provisioned through a multitude of providers, all BGP routed.

Our peering arrangements include the following exchanges. This network is ever-growing, as more carriers are made available so do check back here for the latest updates*:

• MAE-West in San Jose (100Mbps FDDI, 155Mbps OC3 ATM)

• MAE-East (100Mbps FDDI, 155Mbps OC3 ATM)

• AADS in Chicago

• PAIX in Palo Alto (1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet)

• NYIIX in New York (100Mbps Fast Ethernet)

• MAE-East in Vienna

• Level3 Communications

• Sprint

• MCI WorldCom

• Frontier

• Pac Bell (155Mbps OC3 ATM)

• AADS (Ameritech) (155Mbps OC3 ATM)

The entire network is fully switched and utilizes the Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGP4) over Cisco 12000 series GSR routers. This ensures that bandwidth can be routed through the best available carrier giving you seamless connectivity at the same time. We always update the router's IOS after we have stress tested the latest IOS on a non-critical router, to make sure it is very stable. The switch that your equipment will ultimately be connected to is connected back to a core router via fiber.

The self-healing network architecture virtually eliminates a single point of failure. In addition to the backbone, in place is a backup transit from multiple providers in multiple locations to ensure that data will arrive via the shortest possible route. Because of the backup transit and the many international peers, the network maintains the shortest routes for sending data all over the world. On an ongoing basis, negotiations take place with the top fiber carriers for new routes, additional backup transit providers, and updated peering relationships are always being added.

*There are more peering arrangements are actually in place but we are unable to release the exact details due to non-disclosure agreements.
