Introduction
A peering connection is a high-bandwidth and high-quality cloud resources interconnection service that enables communication between resources on Tencent Cloud. Peering Connection features multi-account support and diverse heterogeneous network interconnections, easily achieving complex network scenarios like cloud games on the same server. It supports inter-Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) communication, and VPC-to-Bare Metal (BM) VPC communication, meeting your diverse business deployment needs.
Note：
Peering Connection service provides service-level agreement (SLA) guarantee. If the SLA standards are not met, you can apply for compensation according to the Peering Connection SLA. The network quality of Peering Connection is rated as Gold.
VPC Peering Connection is a cross-VPC network interconnection service within the same region for office data synchronization. It enables route intercommunication between two VPCs as if they were part of the same network. By configuring routing policies at both ends, interconnection between VPCs of the same or different users in the same region can be achieved. Peering Connection does not rely on any specific hardware, thus avoiding single points of failure or bandwidth bottlenecks.
Product advantages
Peering connections have the following advantages over transmission on Internet.
Higher quality
Using the same in-house internal network as Tencent Group's businesses, the peering connections are not affected by the quality of Internet. Therefore, the peering connections provide significantly better availability, latency, and packet loss rate.
Higher security
The peering connections are protected by Tencent Anti-DDoS Pro system, which is of high security. The peering connections do not pass through wide area networks or ISP linkage. Therefore, they do not face the risk that packets are intercepted during transmission on Internet.
