BGP Anycast
Network Anywhere with Anycast
We are the global leader in building anycast networks of any size and for every use case, powering over 60% of the worlds top-level domains. Join the fourth largest BGP-Peered network in the world for fast delivery to users no matter where they are.
Revolutionizing AI Infrastructure for the Future
Automate, scale, and optimize AI deployments across hosted, self-hosted, and air-gapped secure multi-tenant environments with ease.
Key Feature: NVIDIA Integration
Coherently AI is a proud member of the NVIDIA Inception Program. The partnership enables automated deployment of the NVIDIA reference architecture, rapid deployments with real-time adaptation to changes in tenancy, and built-in support for NVIDIA hardware and software.
Unmatched Global Performance
Our BGP anycast network delivers exceptional latency improvements, typically reducing global response times by 80% or more. Deploy anycast seamlessly via automation tools like Terraform and APIs, and achieve instant redundancy, automatic failover, and built-in DDoS protection for your mission-critical services.
Three Levels of DDoS Mitigation
Edge Protection
Filter threats at the edge with Access Control Lists (ACLs), upstream provider filtering, and intelligent Flowspec rule enforcement.
Global DDoS AI Platform
Leverage NetActuate’s AI-driven platform to scrub malicious traffic at Layers 3 through 7 and connect with trusted mitigation partners worldwide.
Data Center Defense
Protect critical infrastructure with managed firewalls, real-time intrusion detection, and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) at the data center level.
Reach Servers Around the Globe with a Single IP
Faster Connections
Requests are directed to the closest location, reducing latency by minimizing round-trip time (RTT) and the number of hops.
Improved Reliability
Redundant servers are available from the same IP. If one location goes down for any reason, users are automatically rerouted to the next closest location.
Load Balancing
Load balancing is built into Anycast by routing users automatically to the location closest to them, improving network speed and performance.
DDoS Mitigation
If a server fails or goes down during mitigation and recovery, requests are fulfilled by the next closest location.
A Resource Hub for BGP Anycast & Network Technologies
Learn how anycast can improve your infrastructure’s availability, performance, resiliency, and security—all at the network level. From load balancing to optimized latency to automatic failover, anycast helps make the most important parts of the internet extremely reliable and high performing. Discover how it can boost your own platforms and services.
What is BGP Anycast?
BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is a standardized routing protocol for the internet. Anycast uses BGP to route network traffic through one IP address reachable at multiple geographic locations, dramatically increasing network reliability and speed.

How It Works
Anycast routes users to the location closest to them, automatically balancing traffic and improving network speed and performance.
What is IX Peering?
Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) provide key connection points that facilitate efficient data transfer. When a provider directly connects to other networks in a local IX (peering), they “shorten” the distance between their own network and other local participating networks, allowing them to reach a local market with less latency, and often, reduced costs.
NetActuate, Inc (AS36236) has an open peering policy, and welcomes all peers in any location we are present.
Anycast for Any Use Case

Frequently Asked Questions
What is BGP Anycast?
BGP Anycast is a network addressing and routing technique that lets multiple servers in different locations all sit behind a single IP address. Anycast leverages Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), which is how networks exchange routing information on the internet.
What sets NetActuate BGP Anycast apart?
NetActuate’s BGP Anycast network delivers exceptional latency improvements, typically reducing global response times by 80% or more. Users can deploy anycast seamlessly via automation tools like Terraform and APIs, and achieve instant redundancy, automatic failover, and DoS protection for mission-critical applications.
What types of NetActuate BGP Anycast Services are available?
NetActuate offers three tiers of BGP Anycast services. 1. BGP Anycast Platform, a fully managed, globally distributed network service that enables instant deployment of resilient edge infrastructure. 2. Shared Anycast IP, instant access to NetActuate’s global routing platform using a single, managed anycast IP address. 3. Basic BGP, a self-managed feature that enables prefix advertisement, routing policy management, and interconnection with our global network
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.
Where can I learn more about BGP Anycast?
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.

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?
Our 24x7x365 NOC monitors your routes, responds to alerts, follows your SOP/MOP, and communicates directly with your team via Slack or ticketing.
