About this network

PCCW Global's international IP backbone (CONSOLE-CONNECT-ASN) — a major carrier especially strong across Asia and on trans-Pacific and Middle East routes.

What it's used for

• Global IP transit and wholesale connectivity to ISPs, content networks, and enterprises.
• Underpins Console Connect, PCCW Global's on-demand interconnection platform.

Notable

• One of the more prominent Asia-headquartered global backbones (parent PCCW is based in Hong Kong), frequently seen carrying traffic into and across Asia.

Interesting

• Its reach into markets that US/European backbones cover less densely makes AS3491 a common transit hop for Asia-Pacific paths.
