Megaport Cloud Router (MCR) Guide
Stand up virtual routing and connect clouds in minutes. Use BGP, static routes, NAT, and private VXCs on a global backbone for predictable performance.
This guide walks through how to route between cloud environments without physical routers. MCR gives you BGP for dynamic routes, static route control, NAT for secure address design, and Q-in-Q support for provider scale. Deploy quickly and move traffic across Megaport’s backbone for low latency multicloud. See Page 1 key benefits list and Page 2 use cases.
What you'll learn:
- When virtual routing beats hardware for speed and agility.
- How to peer clouds privately using VXCs and BGP.
- Designing with NAT, static routes, and Q-in-Q for scale.
- Throughput options up to 100G and how to right size capacity.
- Global deployment patterns and DR use cases.
Who this is for
Network architects, platform teams, and cloud engineers building hybrid and multicloud networks or expanding globally without appliances.
