The Split-Path
Paradigm
>> DECOUPLE_IDENTITY_FROM_BANDWIDTH
Route inbound traffic via Netnounce for premium reputation. Offload bulk outbound data to commodity transit. The optimal routing strategy for modern cloud infrastructure.
Operational Mechanics
How packets traverse the Split-Path architecture without introducing latency penalties or MTU fragmentation.
Ingress & Scrubbing
Traffic hits NETNOUNCE edge via Anycast BGP. Volumetric DDoS attacks are filtered instantly at the backbone layer using flowspec rules.
Encapsulated Handoff
Clean traffic is encapsulated (GRE or VXLAN) and delivered to your designated endpoint router over the public internet, bypassing congestion.
Asymmetric Return
Your server replies to the request. Instead of tunneling back, it sends the response directly out your ISP uplink, preserving bandwidth and reducing latency.
Architecture Comparison
| Feature | Split-Path IP | VPN / Proxy | Standard ISP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identity Ownership | Dedicated / Portable | Shared / Rotated | Locked to Provider |
| Inbound Latency | Global Anycast (Fast) | High (Trombone) | Variable |
| Outbound Capacity | Uncapped (Your ISP) | Bottlenecked | Uncapped |
| MTU Fragmentation | None (Native Return) | Frequent Issues | None |
| Compliance / KYC | Enterprise Verified | Anonymous/Gray | Verified |
