Massive Global Tier 1 Infrastructure
GTZHost integrates directly with Lumen Technologies, operating one of the most interconnected and deeply peered Tier 1 networks globally (AS3356). Inheriting the legendary Level 3 communications infrastructure, Lumen provides a highly secure and ultra-low latency IP core backbone.
Through our carrier-neutral data centers, clients access Lumen's vast subsea and terrestrial fiber network, empowering global enterprises with the high-capacity IP transit required to support cloud architectures, secure data transport, and heavy computational workloads.
Why this structure is better for routing
Lumen’s AS3356 is historically ranked as the #1 peered network globally, ensuring data takes the most efficient international paths.
Unrivaled Peering Density
Extensive interconnection agreements mean your traffic reaches destinations with fewer network handoffs.
Adaptive Routing Security
Advanced network-level DDoS mitigation and BGP route-hijacking protection built into the core.
Global Fiber Footprint
Hundreds of thousands of route miles connecting North America directly to Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
Why route through Lumen with GTZHost?
By implementing intelligent BGP path selection, GTZHost routing engines actively evaluate real-time global network conditions. Handing off traffic directly to Lumen’s edge routers ensures minimal semantic distance and maximum throughput, especially when routing complex global traffic profiles out of North America.
