Expansion

In 2005 the network added direct peering for one-hop router access to content providers and search engine companies. In addition it has created a very well multi-homed backbone for ip-transit. The facilities are located on the data center telecom carrier floors. This is where cross connection between carriers takes place. This makes Fiber Internet Center a Tier 2 network provider.
Fiber Internet Center helped establish the Internet Peering Exchange called Any2 at Coresite facilities. Primary goal in peering was to establish route server peering abilities that enabled hundreds of networks to peer with each other using a single border Gateway Protocol, peering session. Any2 grew rapidly with this expansion. Success occurred and hundreds of ISPs and enterprise businesses are interconnected this way. CoreSite now directly manages the route server peering.
A Fiber Internet Center YouTube Channel is maintained where customers as well as IT professionals throughout the world can quickly learn solutions to complex Internet problems and situations. Such as, how selecting the wrong VOIP provider can make every local phone call a problematic long-distance call.
