The Trombone Routing Trap: Many discount VPS providers purchase cheap global IP transit that lacks domestic peering. Packets traveling between Delhi and Mumbai often route through undersea cables to Singapore or Frankfurt before returning to India, resulting in 90ms+ latencies.
1. True Indian Peering Architecture
HostCraft maintains 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps physical interconnects with both NIXI (National Internet Exchange of India) and DE-CIX Mumbai:
- Direct Airtel & Jio Peering: Over 85% of Indian residential broadband traffic terminates directly at our border switches without crossing third-party transit hops.
- BGP Anycast Optimization: DNS requests and web endpoints resolve to the topologically closest node within 4 to 12 milliseconds across North, West, and Central India.
