One of Africa’s Most Peered Networks

IP Transit from AgileSP is complemented by one of the broadest internet exchange peering footprints of any African ISP.

South Africa:

• NAPAfrica — Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban
• JINX — Johannesburg
• CINX — Cape Town
• DINX — Durban

Europe:

• AMS-IX — Amsterdam
• LINX LON1 — London
• LONAP — London
• NL-ix — Amsterdam
• Frys-IX and Speed-IX — Amsterdam

This peering presence means that a significant portion of traffic your customers send to major content providers, streaming services, cloud platforms, social media networks, and CDNs is exchanged directly at an IXP rather than routed via paid transit. The result: lower transit costs for you, lower latency for your end users, and a more resilient path to the content they use most.

IP Transit Features

• Carrier-grade throughput: scalable from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps and beyond, with burstable capacity available.
• Full BGP routing table: receive the complete global routing table for maximum path selection and flexibility.
• BGP communities: granular traffic engineering support — prepend, blackhole, and regional preference communities available.
• Dual-coast cable diversity: routes across both Atlantic and Indian Ocean subsea systems for automatic failover.
• 95th percentile billing: pay for what you use — burstable above committed rate, billed on the 95th percentile of 5-minute samples.
• SLA-backed uptime: guaranteed availability with defined fault response and restoration windows.
• 24/7 NOC monitoring: AgileSP’s network operations centre monitors the infrastructure around the clock.
• IPv4 and IPv6: full dual-stack transit for networks running or transitioning to IPv6.
• RPKI / ROA validation: all AgileSP-originated prefixes are signed; upstream sessions enforce RPKI filtering.
• BGP blackhole (RTBH): trigger null-routing of attack traffic upstream of your network via community.
• MANRS-compliant routing: AgileSP operates to the Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security.
• On-net delivery: terminate directly at any AgileSP facility for zero external hops.

Expanding Into Southern and East Africa

AgileSP’s network does not stop at South Africa’s borders. Our backbone extends across Southern and East Africa, serving ISPs, enterprises, and mobile operators across Sub-Saharan Africa from a single carrier relationship.

Who Is IP Transit For?

• ISPs and WISPs: high-capacity transit for networks aggregating traffic from thousands of end users.
• Mobile Network Operators (MNOs): carrier-grade transit scaled to handle the variability of mobile traffic profiles.
• Content and cloud providers: origin transit for content delivery into Africa, with IXP peering for efficient distribution.
• Enterprises: direct transit for data centre and cloud workloads requiring guaranteed international performance.
• International carriers: a well-connected, operationally rigorous African on-ramp with European-anchored upstream diversity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is IP transit?

IP transit is the service through which a network operator purchases access to the global internet routing table from an upstream provider. It is the mechanism by which your network can reach — and be reached by — every other network on the internet.

How is AgileSP’s transit different from a reseller?

AgileSP operates its own autonomous system (AS328748), manages upstream connectivity through Tier 1 carriers in London and Amsterdam, and maintains its own peering relationships at 13 internet exchange points. Every session, every route, every prefix is managed by our engineering team.

What billing model do you use?

95th percentile billing — we measure your traffic in 5-minute samples, discard the top 5% of peaks, and bill on the resulting 95th percentile value. This gives you room to burst without penalty.

How do I connect to AgileSP?

If you are already colocated at any of our 15+ facilities, we can deliver transit via a same-building cross-connect. If not, we can arrange NLD or last-mile connectivity to bring you on-net.
