What is Full Span Solutions Core Transit?

Core Transit Basics

Simply stated, our solution is a tunnel service bringing you internet-routable IPv4 and IPv6 address space to nearly anywhere.  This could be for a lab environment, tinkering web application testing, home automation, public connectivity for you a streaming camera,  starting an ISP with your own internet registry-issued address space, or even providing a BGP-enabled path for your business traffic when one is not otherwise available.   Our charter is to be flexible, scalable, and resilient to serve your connectivity application. 

So why wouldn’t you just use your native connection?  If you have to you probably should… Our service adds routing and addressing flexibility for a very technical user familiar with intermediate to advanced IP routing. 

Core Transit is not an anonymizer VPN, a free pass through a web filter, or a bypass for geopolitical restrictions on content in your area.

How Does it Work? 

Simply put, it’s a tunnel.

Your IP packets are encapsulated and flow over any available connectivity (typically the open internet) to us and are then routed to their destination. 

Connectivity Options

L2TP – L2TP is best when connecting from behind NAT or with a public address that can change often.

This is typically the case for customers connecting from Start Link or a 4G/5G service provider.  Our L2TP tunnels are authenticated and build a route back to your networks as the tunnel is established.  The L2TP option also allows portability for customer routers for the same reasons. 

 GRE – GRE works best for static tunnels where you have a consistent DHCP WAN IP lease or a static address of your own.  GRE will allow you to then peer with us using BGP to exchange internet routes as well. 

Other Tunnel Types, such as WireGuard, will be coming in the future!
