IP Transit
Leverage CANIX’s local ASN for global Internet access and remote BGP management
IP Transit is a service that gives your network access to the full Internet through CANIX’s upstream connections. It’s ideal when public peering isn’t enough to reach all destinations. Using BGP, we manage your routing to ensure optimal performance, reach, and resilience. Whether you need full Internet routes or default routing, CANIX provides reliable, high-quality BGP-managed connectivity through our local ASN across major Canadian markets.

What is the difference between IX and IP Transit?
An Internet Exchange (IX) enables direct peering between networks for regional traffic exchange. IP Transit goes further—it provides access to all global networks, including those not reachable via IX, through one or more upstream Internet providers.

How does IP Transit differ from the BGP protocol?
BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is the routing protocol used to exchange reachability information between networks. IP Transit, on the other hand, is a service that allows your network to access the global Internet by using BGP to exchange routes with upstream providers. In short, BGP is the mechanism, and IP Transit is the service.
