– Communication across connection with public IP addresses

Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |

Peering Types
Public Peering
• A peering with FastConnect edge routers
through which you can access Oracle
Public resources using public IP prefixes
• Only public IPv4 prefixes can be advertised
• Customers need to NAT in case of Direct
Cross connect and advertise only public IP
to Oracle
• Maximum 200 public IPv4 prefixes can be
advertised per peering
Copyright © 2018, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |
Private Peering
• A peering with FastConnect edge routers
through which you can extend your on
premise private (RFC1918) networks to
the Oracle Cloud
• Any valid IPv4 prefixes, including RFC
1918 IPv4 prefixes.
• You can extend your remote datacenter
resources that use a private (RFC1918)
address without the need to use IPSec
VPN or NAT
• Maximum 2000 IPv4 prefixes can be
advertised

FastConnect Redundancy

We provide Circuit, Provider, and Data Center (DC) redundancy.

•Customers can (and should) provision per chosen service model:
– Provider:
• Redundant circuits provisioned into 2 different “Fast Connect” locations by the same provider (Circuit
and DC redundant)
• Redundant circuits provisioned into 2 different “Fast Connect” locations by different provider (Circuit,
Provider, and DC redundant)
– Colocation with Oracle:
• 2 physical connections in the co-location to our equipment (Circuit redundant but not DC redundant)
• 2 physical connections in the co-location to our equipment plus a partner provided connection to a
second “Fast Connect” location within the region (Circuit redundant and DC redundant)
