BGP Anycast Networking, Provisioned and Controlled by You

Most BGP and Anycast provisioning workflows still run through a support queue. You open a ticket, wait for a human, and hope nothing changes while you do. NetActuate takes a different approach: you provision and control your own network infrastructure, directly from the NetActuate customer portal.

Two Workflows, One Portal

NetActuate separates BGP and Anycast into two distinct, purpose-built workflows.

BGP connects you to upstream transit providers and internet exchange peers. When you build a BGP group, NetActuate provisions it in your account with an attached ASN, your prefixes (or ours), and your sessions — all configured and visible from a single panel. See the BGP technical documentation.

Anycast works the same way, with one addition: a managed Anycast network above your connection. NetActuate handles routing and availability across your POPs, so traffic reaches the right node consistently, without manual intervention. See the Anycast technical documentation.

Self-Service Session Control

From the portal, you can start or stop every session in a group for maintenance, pull down announcements from an unreachable machine, or add sessions for new servers without touching a support queue. Once you run the BGP daemon on a new instance and the connection establishes, traffic routes to it immediately.

Prefix-Level Analytics

Click into any prefix and pull traffic analytics at the group level or prefix level. See your busiest data centers, your busiest nodes, where traffic originates, and how far it traveled to reach you — all with pre-built filters and no additional tooling required.

NetActuate is the fourth-largest peered network in the world, with 45+ global PoPs and 25 billion transactions processed per day. That scale is now directly accessible through a portal built for network engineers.
