| Technical
Information We share
the digital distribution architecture of Exodus,
which is comprised of more than 25 high-speed
private peering connections to major Internet
carriers such as MCI, Sprint, UUNET, AT&T,
AOL, Best, Erols, and others.
FGC
also has high-speed links to 8 public exchanges
including both MAE East and West and several NAPS.

| To
use an analogy, the private peering connections
allow data to travel from New York to LA on a non-stop
flight, while the public exchanges enable data to
fly into the Roseburg, Oregon airport. With a
large investment in BGP (Border Gate Protocol)
technology, which allows the traffic to your site
to travel more efficiently by finding the best
route for data to travel. On a typical server the
traffic always takes the same route from client
to server. For them, if there is a bad node,
traffic does not get through at all. Because we
use BGP protocol, different and more efficient
routes are taken between client and server
depending on traffic loads and broken nodes. This
means our servers automatically look for the
fastest route available.
Often
providers operate their networks at three to four
times responsible capacity, and as a result the
corresponding transfer times reach over 300ms for
each hop along the net. One World's network daily
average is 6.5% of its capacity, with mid-day
peak spikes reaching only 15.5% capacity. Our
transfer times range from 15 to 80ms routinely
