Internet Transit Directory
What is Internet Transit
Internet
Transit or also called
Internet bandwidth is the
transmission of data from
your network to other
locations on the Internet.
Internet Transit is the term
that is used most often for
Autonomous Networks, who have
an ASN and run BGP, when they
buy routes to the Internet for
the data on their network.
These networks may be large
phone company networks, data
networks and ISPs, or just
large companies who have setup
their network in a very robust
way with their own ASN and
running BGP.
The amount of
Internet Transit that you get
is the speed of your
connection to the Internet
such as 100Mbps, 1,000Mbps or
10,000Mbps.
The Internet is built by
connecting network to
networks on a worldwide grid
that enables you to transfer
various kinds of data such as
voice data, video or just to view
this web page. Everyone
connected to the
Internet is in some way using
Internet Transit or
bandwidth and the more
Internet Bandwidth
the faster you
can downloaded, view
web pages, data and
movies, etc.
Business and individuals get
their Internet Transit in
many different ways:
Cable
Internet
- Provides Internet
bandwidth using the
same coaxial cables that
deliver pictures to TV. They
provide transmission speed
of 1.5 Mbps or more. Mostly
used in home and small
business. The Cable
provider then, just
upstream, uses Internet
Transit to pass all
their customers data on to
the correct location on the
Internet and back.
DSL
- This
service uses copper wires
and a typical service
provides 7 Mbps speed for
data flowing from the ISP to
the user and 1 Mbps speed
for data flowing from the
end user back toward the
ISP. Mostly used in home and
small business. The
DSL
ISP then uses
Internet Transit just
upstream from the customers
to pass all the customer
data out the the various
destinations on the Internet
and back.

T1
Service
-
This service is available in
increments of 128 Kbps up to
1.544 Mbps. T1 service is
appropriate for medium to
large companies using a
local area network.
1000
Mpbs Internet Transit
- 1000 Mpbs is
high speed and is becoming a
very common speed
in data centers and for
networks available in
Gigabit Ethernet
configurations.
10
GigE Internet Transit
-
The 10 GigE are used by
companies with highly
specialized needs. 10GigE
stands for the connection
type that is 10 Gigabit
Ethernet and can transmit
10,000Mbps per second.
10,000 Mpbs is
currently the fastest speed
available in Ethernet
configurations.
This is a very fast speed
for data transfer. Media
companies that need to move
large files and Networks of
various types use this speed
with an Internet Transit
service.
Oc-48
Internet Transit
- It stands for
Optical Carrier Level 48,
which equates to 2.488 Gbps
of transfer. OC-48
works using a fiber optic
backbone for large networks
with volume extensive voice,
data or video traffic.
Oc-192
Internet Transit
-With bandwidth requirements
increasing at an
exponentially rate, the move
from OC-48 (2.5 Gbit/sec) to
OC-192 (10-Gbit/sec)
transport is accelerating.
As the use of
the Internet keeps growing,
IT managers and business
will keep demanding faster
speed. The demand for
wireless and with
WiMax
Internet we will
be seeing amazing leaps of
technology in the 10 years.
