[ About Hurricane Electric ]

Hurricane Electric — public profile.

Hurricane Electric operates AS6939, one of the most-peered IPv6 networks globally. The HE backbone is known for an exceptionally deep IPv6 footprint and a dense peering matrix across Europe and the Americas.

[ Why Hurricane Electric + DFDC ]

How Hurricane Electric integrates with THG1.

Hurricane Electric is present in the THG1 meet-me area. Useful for IPv6-heavy workloads and for cost-optimised egress where HE's peering depth shortens the AS_PATH to small and regional networks.

    How a deployment with Hurricane Electric looks in practice.

    Upstream on AS6206

    AS6939 sits in the DF Transit upstream mix. Routes originated on DF Transit egress over Hurricane Electric where BGP selects it as the best-path. No extra cross-connect required — the upstream is native.

    One port, full blend

    A single BareFABRIC port lights DF Transit; the blend includes Hurricane Electric plus the other Tier-1 upstreams. You get the routing benefit of multiple Tier-1s without buying multiple cross-connects or running BGP yourself.

    Diverse-path egress

    DF Transit egresses over physically diverse paths out of THG1, with multiple Tier-1 upstreams active simultaneously. Single-carrier-incident risk does not take down your egress.
