| The NAP advantages & Frequently Asked Questions |
- KC NAP service is different than regular ISPs in that our
services are fully redundant to multiple carriers and to our
own peering fabrics.
- We are fully Ethernet and IP based avoiding conversion losses.
- Clients can order redundant Shadow Ports for additional reliability.
- We work closely with facilities like 1102 Grand, in developing
the best possible Meet-Me-Room and Meet-Me-Cage facilities,
often with no cross connect fee.
- Both fiber and copper Ethernet connections are supported.
- We strive to keep as much traffic local as possible thus reducing
distance latency losses, this includes our own Akamai Server
farm caching about 15% of the net.
- We do not oversubscribe our bandwidth, by this we mean that
we always provision sufficient bandwidth to avoid load induced
latency. This is a major difference in that some providers oversubscribe
20 to 1. Hint: have them show you their load graphs, if they
peak at certain times you know they oversubscribe.
- Naturally we efficiently route and do take advantage of the
best mix of customers thereby matching eyeball networks with
hosting networks to contain costs.
- By focusing on Enterprise, Carrier and Hosting we keep customer
counts low thereby insuring high levels of personal attention.
- We also establish direct connections with our bandwidth partners
avoiding ILEC infrastructure and the cost and performance losses
normally found in ATM and OC based networks.
- Our layer 2 connections are all managed and monitored by us
so we know what to do when something goes wrong, and most of
them are protected insuring a alternate path if fiber is cut.
