FAQs

An internet gateway is an exit point within a private network that operates as an egress to the public internet. For Cloud Connexa, a Network can be configured to function as an internet gateway to route public internet traffic for Networks, Hosts, or User Groups.

Smart routing determines the best internet gateway based on:

  • The geographic proximity of the WPC Region that is the source of the traffic to the WPC Region of the Network’s Connector,
  • The network characteristics of the connectivity between source and destination WPC Regions
