Order a network port from the Deploy page in my.cubepath.com. Pick a facility on the map, size your port, and choose between full-table IP Transit or a Layer 2 VLAN.
NoteYour account must be verified before you can order.
Which service do you need
| IP Transit | Layer 2 (VLAN) | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Full BGP table — internet reachability for your own ASN and prefixes | A point-to-point circuit to a second facility |
| You need | An ASN and your own IPv4 prefix (IPv6 optional) | A destination facility and a VLAN ID (1–4094) |
| Billing | 95th percentile on the commit level you choose | The port |
| Includes | DDoS mitigation | No internet path |
If you don't operate your own ASN and address space, IP Transit isn't what you're after — a VPS or dedicated server with floating IPs is.
Order
- 1Select locationChoose a facility on the interactive map. This is where your port lands.
- 2Name the port and pick speedGive the port a name (lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, 3–50 characters), then select 1G, 10G, 40G or 100G.
- 3Choose minimum termPick No Minimum (monthly) or a 12 / 24 / 36 month term. Longer terms save 10% / 15% / 20%.
- 4Add LAG (optional)On 10G and above you can bundle two ports with LAG (single router) or MLAG (dual router) for extra bandwidth and redundancy.
- 5Pick service typeChoose IP Transit or Layer 2 (VLAN).
- 6Configure and orderFor IP Transit, pick a commit level and set your ASN, IPv4 prefix and optional IPv6. For Layer 2, pick the destination facility and a VLAN ID. Review the summary and order.
95th percentile billing
ImportantIP Transit bills on the 95th percentile, not on total transferred bytes and not on a flat rate.
Your traffic is sampled across the month, the samples are sorted, and the top 5% are discarded before the highest remaining sample sets your bill. In practice that means short spikes are free — a nightly backup burst or a launch-day peak lasting under about 36 hours a month doesn't move the number — while sustained traffic does.
The practical consequence: pick a commit level based on your sustained peak, not your absolute peak, and don't pay for headroom you only use in bursts.
LAG and MLAG
Bundling two ports raises the ceiling and adds redundancy, but the two options protect against different things:
- LAG bundles two ports on a single router. You survive a port or cable failure; you don't survive that router.
- MLAG bundles across two routers. You survive either one failing.
If the circuit is carrying production traffic, MLAG is the one that matters — port failures are much rarer than planned router maintenance.
