The nLayer Global IP Network
The nLayer Communications Global IP Network was designed from the ground up to provide a robust, legacy-free, highly scalable network with unmatched performance. All of our core routing POPs are connected via multiple diversely routed OC-192 (10 Gbps) circuits, provisioned over a highly scalable Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) infrastructure. Our MPLS-enabled core provides advanced traffic-engineering functionality, rapid fault restoration, and multi-service transport capabilities.

Connected to the world
nLayer operates core routing POPs capable of delivering multiple 10 Gigabit per second circuits in twenty-two (22) key markets, spanning North America, Europe, and Asia. By strategically positioning core routing infrastructure near key Internet interconnections points, nLayer is able to provide lower latency service and increased bandwidth scalability, at reduced cost.
nLayer also maintains over 900 Gigabits per second of interconnection capacity with other Internet networks, and delivers almost all of its IP traffic via an extensive set of peering relationships with hundreds of critical carrier and service provider networks worldwide.
Engineered for performance
One of the most important aspects in the design of a world-class network is to prevent bottlenecks which limit performance, both within our own network, and between our network and other networks on the Internet.
Some companies are willing to wait for capacity to run out before spending the money to upgrade their network, resulting in periods of congestion for weeks or even months at a time. nLayer proactively monitors traffic growth to ensure sufficient capacity is already provisioned before it is needed. This gives us unmatched capacity for handling traffic bursts, flash crowds, and special events such as stream media.
While other networks talk about adding Quality of Service (QoS) queuing mechanisms to control their congestion, nLayer provides a different form of QoS -- Quantity of Service -- so that there is never any congestion which needs managing.
