nLayer Communications has designed and deployed a robust, legacy-free, and highly scalable network spanning key markets across North America. Major backbone nodes are connected via multiple OC-192 (10 Gbps) diversely routed circuits, provisioned over a highly scalable Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) infrastructure.

Our MPLS-enabled core network provides advanced traffic-engineering functionality, rapid fault restoration, and multi-service transport capabilities.

nLayer currently maintains over 600 Gigabits per second of interconnection capacity with other Internet networks, and delivers the majority of its IP traffic via an extensive set of peering relationships with hundreds of critical networks worldwide.

By strategically positioning core routing infrastructure at key Internet interconnections points, nLayer is able to provide lower latencies and increased bandwidth scalability.

One of the most important aspects in the design of a world-class network is to prevent bottlenecks, both within our own network, and between our network and other networks on the Internet.

Some companies are willing to wait for capacity to run out before spending the money to upgrade their network, resulting in periods of congestion for weeks or even months at a time. nLayer proactively monitors traffic growth to ensure sufficient capacity is already provisioned before it is needed. This gives us unmatched capacity for handling traffic bursts, flash crowds, and special events such as stream media.

While other networks talk about adding Quality of Service (QoS) queuing mechanisms to control their congestion, nLayer provides a different form of QoS -- Quantity of Service -- so that there is never congestion to manage.
