Premium Network
Infrastructure
HYEHOST operates AS47272 from Wolverhampton, UK with indirect peering via parent company connections to LINX, LONAP, and other major exchanges. DDoS protected with carrier-grade routing.
Network Architecture
Built on enterprise-grade infrastructure with redundancy and performance in mind.
Indirect IX Peering
Our parent company maintains direct connections to LINX, LONAP, and other major UK internet exchanges. HYEHOST benefits from these peering relationships through our parent AS, providing low-latency routes to major networks without the overhead of direct IX membership.
DDoS Mitigation
All services include DDoS protection with automatic detection and mitigation.
Wolverhampton Core
All infrastructure operates from our UK Midlands facility with 24/7 on-site NOC.
BGP Routing
Full BGP table with optimized routing policies for UK and European destinations.
IPv4 & IPv6
Dual-stack connectivity with native IPv6 support across all services.
Network Topology
Redundant UK network with dual transit, dual Arista cores, dual VyOS routers, and resilient 10G fabrics.
How the links are wired
Transit → Cores
Transit A lands on 7050SX-A and Transit B lands on 7050SX-B, providing provider diversity while keeping the physical pathing simple.
Cores → VyOS
Each VyOS router has a dedicated uplink to each 7050SX core (A/B), ensuring router availability during single switch events.
Cores → IPMI
Arista 7010T for IPMI/OOB with two uplinks—one into each 7050SX core.
Cores → 10G Edge
Arista 7050TX (10G + 4x40G) dual-homed to the 7050SX pair for production traffic fan-out to racks.
Gateway Placement
Default gateway services delivered via VyOS, reachable through either core; VRRP/anycast-style failover for stability.

Failover & Redundancy
The goal is to avoid single points of failure and keep maintenance events non-disruptive. MLAG keeps the switching layer redundant, while the two VyOS routers provide redundant routing/BGP so that loss of any single device or uplink does not strand the network.
-
Transit Failure: If Transit A fails, routes learned via Transit A withdraw and traffic exits via Transit B (and vice-versa).
-
Single Core Switch Failure: If 7050SX-A or 7050SX-B fails, the remaining core continues forwarding. Links to the failed core drop and traffic reconverges across the remaining core.
-
Single VyOS Failure: If VyOS-1 or VyOS-2 fails, the remaining router continues routing/BGP and the network remains reachable through its uplinks to both cores.
-
MLAG Peer-Link Events: If the MLAG peer link is interrupted, the core pair is designed to prevent split-brain behavior; depending on the exact failure mode, some paths may be suspended to preserve correctness until connectivity is restored.
Peering Policy
We maintain an open peering policy and welcome peering requests at major UK exchanges through our parent company.
