Native dual stack (IPv4/IPv6)

We support both IPv4 and IPv6. Just remember: they aren't making more v4 address space, so at some point IPv6 is going to rule! 😉

Layer 2 VLANs

Building on top of our Layer 3 topology, we offer a powerful and flexible VLAN feature that allows you to build private networks easily.

Elastic addressing

Need some magic, floating IPs? Request them on a per-facility basis and assign them programmatically to your infrastructure. No more waiting for DNS! Standard Elastic IP’s cost $0.005 / hour, or about $3.60 per month.

Backend networking

Each Equinix Metal project includes backend (non-routable) IP address space for direct server to server communication over an easy to use private network. Backend traffic within a metro is free.

Global backend transfer

Extend your private backend transfer setup across our global facilities. Customers can use the same secure 'backend transfer' approach to communicate across locations. Backend transfer traffic between metros is charged at $0.03 / GB

Local & Global BGP

Leverage BGP locally within each metro (or globally across our backbone) for high availability and an improved end-user experience. Bring your own IP space with a /24 or larger.
