What are BGP Anycast groups?

At NetActuate, BGP Anycast groups are a unique combination of routing policies, transit providers, DDoS mitigation, prefixes, and resources like BGP sessions attached to them. Each group has its own unique controls, includes all dedicated resources/features mentioned here, and is billed independently.

You can go to our resource site at anycast.com to learn more about BGP Anycast and use cases.

Can I deploy a hybrid network using your platform and other providers?

Yes. We offer LOAs, policy tools, and automation support so you can mix and match resources across platforms.

Is this suitable for production or only testing?

Our platform powers mission-critical workloads for some of the largest DNS and cybersecurity companies. It's ideal for both testing and full production.

Do I need to understand BGP to use this?

No. You can let us handle BGP for you and use the platform through our portal and APIs.

Can I use my own ASN and IP addresses?

Absolutely. Our platform supports BYOIP, custom ASN announcements, and origin rewriting so that your service appears globally unified without managing complex routing.

How quickly can I deploy a new Anycast node?

In most cases, a new node can be deployed within minutes via our API or portal, with BGP sessions and IP assignments ready to announce.

Does the platform support IPv6?

Yes, dual-stack support is included. Every deployment fully supports IPv4 and IPv6 without additional configuration.

What kind of DDoS mitigation is included?

We include up to 1 Tbps of mitigation capacity with multi-provider integration and custom policies at no additional cost.

Can I control which POPs announce my routes?

Yes. You can use BGP communities and tags to manage where your traffic originates from and maintain regional control.

What’s included in the managed NOC service?
