Overview
Arelion provides backbone connectivity for enterprises and content networks. Its AS1299 IP Transit service connects customer networks to the Internet.
For CDN planning, distinguish this connectivity service from an HTTP caching platform. Cache rules, viewer-request pricing and application features require a separate delivery product.
Network
Arelion’s IP Transit page describes a fiber backbone across Europe, North America and Asia with more than 350 connectivity PoPs. The sites provide network connectivity; they are not a CDN cache-city list.

- Connectivity: IP Transit provides BGP access through AS1299; this is a network service rather than an HTTP caching layer.
- Protection: SecureConnect and DDoS mitigation protect contracted connectivity services. Application WAF and cache controls require a separate product.
- Management: My Arelion exposes service inventory, usage, support and network information through its portal and Open APIs. These metrics are distinct from raw CDN viewer-request logs.
