[AusNOG] [PossibleSpam] Transit options, 500mbit aggregate 95th, 5 POPs

Hi Oliver,

I recommend looking at ColoAU, they are all over the place. Good, strong network which they are aggressively expanding consistently. Have a chat to Nic Tippet if you can, he is the goto guy.

Subject: [PossibleSpam] [AusNOG] Transit options, 500mbit aggregate 95th, 5 POPs

Hello,

I am shopping for quality transit options with an 'aggregate 95th' service over the following 5 locations with 3 * starred being connected from day 1 and the others to be connected within 6 months of establishment. I already have a shortlist with some providers I have spoken to but am hoping to discover some other options with this request:

Equinix SY3 Sydney *
Equinix ME1 Melbourne
Colocity DC3 Adelaide (Morphett Street) *
NextDC P1 Perth *
NextDC B1 (and B2 down the track) Brisbane

I am looking for 500mbit initially with most traffic being in Sydney, and there is strong potential for the total commitment to double every 8 to 12 months based on historic data.

Some things that are necessary/some notes:

- Dual stack ipv4/ipv6 BGP transit
- DDOS mitigation of some sort and/or automatic null routing after attack thresholds are reached, with automated notification of null routes taking place
- Good blend of upstreams for diverse traffic sources; heavy focus on networks in Asia (so if your network brings all international traffic to Perth and Adelaide in from the East that is not suitable)
- Steady traffic 24/7 with minimal (not more than 20%) difference between peaks and troughs, inbound and outbound more or less equal
- If you're using AAPT for domestic transit please advise what redundancy is in place as I don't consider them alone sufficient due to regular connectivity issues especially away from the East Coast
- Contracts longer than 12 months are rarely of interest

If you sell transit and think you can offer something suitable I would be interested to hear about your network and options off list.

Regards,
Oliver
