Megaport Cloud Router (MCR)
Managed routing platform with integrated control via the Megaport Portal for ease of public or private connectivity at Layer 3.
MCR
Virtual routing for powerful cloud networking.
Make networking easier
Connect at Layer 3 in an instant. There’s no need to learn the ins and outs of network engineering. Simply log in to your Megaport account and start building your virtual network in a few clicks. Hassle-free and ready to go, MCR takes the complexity out of networking.
Support your multicloud
With MCR, you can privately peer between leading public cloud, IaaS, and SaaS providers. Having a virtual router located close to cloud on-ramps means lower latency and improved performance for your critical multicloud workloads.
No hardware needed
There’s no need to install, manage, or maintain any hardware with MCR. Having a virtualized network means you don’t need to rely on infrastructure on-premises or in a data center – it’s all virtual. This equates to saved time, resources, effort, and costs when creating your connections.
Layer 3 Connectivity
Network your way, all on one platform.
Megaport Cloud Router (MCR) is a managed virtual router service that enables direct networking between endpoints on the Megaport Network. MCR can be purchased as a standalone service to route traffic between different cloud environments without the customer having a physical presence in that data center. It can also be connected to customer Ports to route pertinent traffic back to a physical location.
MCR manages both static and dynamic routes, up to 10,000. These routing options are available for individual configuration of each sub-VLAN (C-Tag) on Q-in-Q capable connections.
MCR Features
Enjoy an enterprise-grade network.
Looking Glass
MCR Looking Glass provides single-screen visibility over your traffic routing.
Security
You can enable Message Digest 5 (MD5) authentication between two eBGP neighbors to have MCR verify each segment sent on the connection between the neighbors.
Public IP Address Allocation
When ordering your MCR, public IP addresses are provided as needed, based on specific cloud service provider requirements.
Dynamic Routing
Dynamic routing propagates route table updates from your MCR across the Virtual Cross Connect (VXC) to the destination. MCR leverages the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to provide flexible routing by exchanging routing information between peers.
MCR supports these BGP routing features:
- Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
- Multiple Exit Discriminator (MED)
- BGP on/off toggle
- Static routing
- Autonomous system number support
- NAT IP addresses
