正如我们在上次网络更新中所概述的那样，我们的网络工程部门一直在努力工作，通过打开大量的容量和直接与全球数以百计的网络对等来改造我们整个面向互联网的网络。从那时起，我们已经将我们的网络主干扩展到北美和欧洲的所有数据中心。这意味着Linode数据中心之间的任何通信都不会离开我们的ASN 63949。在我们的站点之间有直接的私人连接，使互联网的波动性不复存在。
客户可以相信，他们在我们这里托管的多站点应用程序将能够通过尽可能最快和最可靠的方式进行通信。我们的工程师与我们的供应商密切合作，挑选最短的光纤路径，这反过来又为我们的客户提供了地点之间的最低延迟。在我们目前最长的路径上（弗里蒙特DC到法兰克福DC），我们能够将RTT降低15ms以上。我们也看到与互联网有关的抖动和丢包等不可避免的现象消失了。
虽然在Linode的公共接口之间提供直接连接是很好的，但我们并不打算就此止步。我们的工程师已经花了无数的时间与数百个内容和眼球网络建立关系并达成同行协议。现在，随着网络主干的加速和强化，我们可以将目前包含在单个数据中心的这些关系的好处扩展到我们主干线上的任何数据中心。例如，纽瓦克的客户将直接受益于我们在欧洲的强大对等关系，反之亦然。通过多跳传输的流量越少，我们为客户提供的云就越好。
现在，Linode的北美和欧洲DC已经整合，我们已经开始处理我们的AsiaPAC网络。在最近的新加坡之行中，我们的网络工程师为亚洲运营商最密集的建筑之一点亮了暗光纤，为我们在那里扩展骨干网奠定了基础。

To improve Asian network performance, Linode can consider lighting up dark fibres to Hong Kong solely as a network PoP. That way you can cover more Asian countries like the Philippines, Brunei, Taiwan, Cambodia and Vietnam and provide redundant routes for these countries as their links to Singapore or Tokyo are not as stable as the ones going to Hong Kong.
Good Job!!! Linode always Rocks…
Goooood job guys! So, there will be a global private network with a unique private IP range shared between Datacenters?
@Diego Thanks! It might be something we can consider, we’re always looking to make our service even better.
Excellent news 🙂 I’m in AsiaPAC exclusively at the moment, so I look forward to the work done there 🙂
Come to StrayaaAAA!
awesome Linode Rocks
Yeah yeah thanks Linode!!!
Any plans to increase egress, i.e. currently 1Gbs out?
Awesome job. Speed is important if one makes app syncing between two data centres
Great News!
We’ll love to have backup service across 2 datacenters ! (and private networks 🙂 )
E.
Next POP should be in Australia! Tons of business here!

If you have a low cost Linode, than 1Gbps is a good amount of bandwidth for most usage scenarios. You could always set up a cluster of cheap Linodes over multiple datacenters in order to increase your aggregate bandwidth.
Does Linode with these network upgrades plan on increasing usage quotas on Linodes?
I’m getting 174ms latency between Fremont and Frankfurt. Your diagram says that should be 147ms.
What gives with that?
@John Our North American ring consists of diverse paths between each DC. The primary path between Fremont and Newark was down due to a fiber cut which caused traffic to take the longer secondary path. It just so happens that we were working with our provider to get the secondary path shorter which happened in the last 48 hours. RTT for both paths should be around 146ms now. Please let us know if you see otherwise!
Wow you guys are serious! Is transfer between DC’s “free” do you know? Just out of curiosity 🙂
Great news for those in Asia! Any good news in a short future for us here in South America? I have linode for almost 3 years and the pricing with quality is unbeatable but unfortunatelly it’s not a fast connection.
Nothing in the immediate future, but we’re always considering new ways to help our customers – we won’t rule it out!
Great Linode Rocks
Glad to see Linode working hard! 🙂
Nice job, Linode always stays at the top
Hello,
do you have a high level schematics of your datacenter network layout ?
regards
Though we do not provide the network schematics from our end, our peering partners and some other information regarding our network are listed on Hurricane Electric’s site:

Awesome, this is great news. Linode always provides great value and I can see it’s only getting better.
Hmm…interestingly, for fun, I did a speed test from a linode, downloading a file from vultr (san jose silicon valley) and from linode (silicon valley fremont). It downloaded much faster from vultr? hmm…am I an outlier?
are you going to post news about linode network backbone?
How can we establish Bilateral Peering Request over DE-CIX Infrastructure with lonide?
Linode* Sorry for spelling mistake.
