What Tier-1 Transit Actually Means
A tier-1 network operator is a carrier that can reach every other network on the internet
through
direct peering โ without paying upstream transit fees. Their interconnections form the core
backbone of global internet routing.
When your server sits on a tier-1 network, your traffic takes the shortest, lowest-latency
path
to its destination. No traversal through multiple intermediate transit hops that add latency
and
introduce additional failure points.
KW Servers connects every UK data centre to multiple tier-1 carriers with geographically
diverse
uplinks. BGP-based automatic failover reroutes traffic through healthy uplinks within
seconds.
