Service Scope

Connectivity and infrastructure, delivered as one operated platform

From the BGP session on our edge to the rack unit in the data hall, every layer is engineered, monitored and supported by the same team.

01

IP Transit & BGP Connectivity

IPv4 transit from AS206916 with full routing table or default route, BGP communities for traffic engineering, and blackhole support. Ports from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps, committed or burstable billing, with IPv6 available on request.

02

IP Address & BYOIP

Announcement of customer-owned IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes from AS206916 (BYOIP with LOA and RPKI validation), leased IPv4 blocks, and IPv6 assignments on request.

03

Colocation

Single rack units, half and full cabinets, and private cages in a carrier-neutral facility at MEGA Gateway, Hong Kong — our core point of presence. Redundant A+B power, cross-connects, and 24×7 remote hands with a documented SLA.

04

Dedicated & Bare-metal Servers

Single-tenant servers on enterprise hardware, provisioned with IPMI/KVM access, RAID options, unmetered or metered bandwidth, and a direct uplink to the AS206916 backbone.

05

DDoS Mitigation

Always-on volumetric detection with on-demand scrubbing, BGP community-triggered blackholing, and per-service mitigation profiles for hosting and gaming workloads.

06

Managed Network & NOC

Design, deployment and monitoring of customer networks: router and switch configuration, VLAN and VXLAN segmentation, monitoring integration, and 24×7 NOC escalation.

07

China Mainland Optimised Routing

A selectable route into a closed market that ordinary international transit reaches inconsistently: premium network interconnect from our Hong Kong core PoP over AS4809 (China Telecom CN2), AS9929 (China Unicom CUII), AS58807 (China Mobile CMIN2) and AS10099 (China Unicom Global).

The Network

AS206916 backbone and points of presence

A multi-homed network with diverse upstream transit and private interconnection in the Asia-Pacific region — engineered for low latency and route stability.

Edge & Transit

  • Multiple Tier-1 / Tier-2 upstream providers per PoP
  • Premium network interconnect for mainland China over AS4809 (CN2), AS9929 (CUII), AS58807 (CMIN2) and AS10099 (CUG)
  • Redundant edge routers with BGP fast failover (BFD)
  • RPKI route origin validation on all sessions
  • Customer-facing BGP communities for prepend, local-pref and blackhole

Core & Aggregation

  • Core point of presence at MEGA Gateway, Hong Kong, with redundant paths and diverse fibre into the facility
  • MPLS / segment-routing capable backbone
  • 10G aggregation, 1G/10G customer access
  • Automated configuration and telemetry collection

Interconnection

  • Private interconnection at MEGA Gateway, Hong Kong
  • Direct bilateral sessions with adjacent networks
  • Open peering policy — see the peering section
  • PeeringDB record maintained for AS206916

Monitoring & Operations

  • Flow, SNMP and streaming telemetry across the backbone
  • Status page with advance maintenance notices
  • Proactive alerting with 24×7 NOC on-call rotation
  • Scheduled maintenance announced in advance

Routing & Traffic Policy

Control how your prefixes are announced and how traffic flows

BGP customers of AS206916 receive a documented set of communities so routing policy is something you configure, not something you request by ticket.

Full Table

Receive the complete IPv4 and IPv6 routing table from AS206916 for your own path selection, with optional upstream-only or IX-only views.

Default Route

A simple default-route session for customers who do not need the full table — ideal for single-homed servers and small deployments.

Community-based Policy

Prepend towards specific upstreams or exchanges, adjust local preference, suppress announcement per region, or trigger remote blackholing per /32 and /128.

Operations Stack

Five layers behind every service

The systems that keep AS206916 and the data center running are built and operated in-house, from IPAM to the customer portal.

  • L5 · Portal

    Customer portal for service orders, bandwidth graphs, IPMI access, remote-hands tickets, and billing.

  • L4 · Provisioning

    Automated BGP session, VLAN, port and server provisioning driven from source-of-truth inventory.

  • L3 · IPAM & RPKI

    Prefix management, LOA handling, ROA publication, and IRR object maintenance for customer routes.

  • L2 · Telemetry

    Flow, SNMP and streaming telemetry, DDoS detection, and alerting into the NOC on-call rotation.

  • L1 · Network & Facility

    Edge, core and access hardware; power, cooling and physical security in each facility.

Peering

Peer with AS206916

We maintain an open peering policy and welcome private interconnection with networks that exchange meaningful traffic with us in the Asia-Pacific region.

Current peers

AS206916 interconnects with four premium mainland China backbones — AS4809 (China Telecom CN2), AS9929 (China Unicom CUII), AS58807 (China Mobile CMIN2) and AS10099 (China Unicom Global) — so traffic to and from mainland networks takes a congestion-managed path rather than the default international route. Interconnection is private, established at MEGA Gateway in Hong Kong.

Peering requirements

We ask peers to keep a current PeeringDB record, maintain accurate IRR objects and RPKI ROAs, announce consistent routes at all common locations, and operate a reachable NOC contact. Private interconnection is configured within two business days of request.
