IP Transit
Take capacity over a facility cross connect into NorthShield. Circuits are available from Telehouse West in London, Equinix FR7 in Frankfurt, and Datacasa in Istanbul, with optional protected transit on the same path.

Cross connect locations
Pick the data center closest to your rack, meet-me room, or colo partner. London and Frankfurt support up to 2×100G; Datacasa Istanbul supports up to 100G — with optional protected transit on the same path.

Telehouse West
London, United Kingdom
Cross connect handoff
Cross connect at Telehouse West for UK and Western Europe handoff. Meet our edge inside one of London’s core carrier hotels.

How it works
Your router meets ours inside Telehouse West, Equinix FR7, or Datacasa. We engineer the BGP session, port capacity (1G through 2×100G depending on facility), and — when you need it — a protected transit path with filtering applied before clean traffic reaches your network.
Choose facility and port speed — up to 2×100G in London/Frankfurt, up to 100G in Istanbul.
Order cross connect at Telehouse West, Equinix FR7, or Datacasa.
Engineer BGP session, port speed, and prefix policy with our NOC.
Optional: enable protected transit with 1Tbps+ edge filtering on the same handoff.
Edge filtering
When you choose protected IP Transit, hostile traffic is filtered on our XDP mitigation fabric before it crosses your handoff. Volumetric campaigns are absorbed regionally — not on your router or upstream.
Mitigation fabric
Protected IP Transit uses the same NorthShield edge as our DDoS platform — XDP drops, application filters, and regional scrub capacity on the path your traffic already takes.
Attack absorption
Our edge filters are sized for floods up to 1Tbps+ so attack volume is absorbed before clean traffic continues over your IP Transit handoff.
Early drops
Hostile packets are dropped at line rate on the mitigation path — not after they have already stressed your router or cross connect.
Same cross connect
Add DDoS filtering on the same facility handoff. Attack traffic stays at our edge; legitimate flows reach your network.
Three PoPs
London, Frankfurt, and Istanbul absorb attack volume regionally before clean traffic is returned through your chosen facility.
Attack coverage
Protected IP Transit uses the same 3Tbps+ filtering stack as our DDoS platform. Hostile traffic is classified and dropped before clean flows continue toward your network.
High-volume UDP and amplification traffic dropped at the edge before it consumes your cross connect or upstream.
TCP state exhaustion, malformed packets, and protocol anomalies filtered in the XDP path.
HTTP, TLS, and service-specific campaigns mitigated with L7-aware policy alongside your transit handoff.
Delivery
Whether you need raw transit capacity or protected delivery on the same facility handoff, IP Transit is engineered around physical interconnects and clear operational runbooks.
Physical handoff
Take IP Transit over a facility cross connect. Circuits are handed off inside the data center — not over the public internet.
Routing
Bring your prefixes and session policy. We document ASN, communities, and failover expectations before production cutover.
Operations
London and Frankfurt: 1G–2×100G. Datacasa Istanbul: 1G–100G. We coordinate LOA, port speed, and cutover windows with your team and the facility operator.
Mitigation
Pair IP Transit with NorthShield filtering on the same handoff so attack volume stays at our edge.
Coverage
IP Transit fits hosting providers, ISPs, enterprises, and operators who already colocate in London, Frankfurt, or Istanbul and want a direct cross connect into NorthShield.
Share your facility, desired port speed (1G–2×100G in London/Frankfurt, 1G–100G in Istanbul), ASN, and whether you need protected transit with 1Tbps+ edge filtering.
