FAQs

What is point to point in networking?

A point-to-point connection is a private network that’s created by securely linking two or more locations. They use the same ethernet technology as Ethernet Local Area Networks, meaning you benefit from high performance, high availability and security you can rely on, even at your most critical sites.

How does a P2P network work?

A point-to-point network creates a secure, private network by linking multiple sites together over a secure, dedicated line. Because the line is just for your business, it means you can safely connect your sites without any security concerns, with fast and reliable performance.
