Magic Transit
Unmatched, hardware-free DDoS protection for customer networks
Protect public-facing subnets using the Cloudflare global network, without the slowdowns of routing network traffic to scrubbing centers or capacity limitations of hardware boxes. With 280 Tbps of network capacity, 23x greater than the largest DDoS attacks ever recorded, Cloudflare can mitigate attacks of any size.
BENEFITS OF MAGIC TRANSIT
DDoS protection at massive scale
No more backhauling traffic to DDoS scrubbing centers. Magic Transit uses Cloudflare's global network to absorb and filter attacks.
Ultra-low Time to Mitigate (TTM)
Malicious traffic is identified and blocked at a Cloudflare data center closest to the source, usually within 3 seconds.
Reduce your TCO
Replace expensive hardware and increase operational agility with network functions delivered and billed as a service.
On-premises and hybrid infrastructure protected via our global network
Magic Transit delivers network protection from Cloudflare data centers. Using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) route announcements, inbound traffic is ingested at the closest Cloudflare data center.
Clean traffic is routed rapidly over Cloudflare’s network and can be handed off over GRE tunnels, private network interconnects (PNI), or other forms of peering to the customer network.
