Benefits of Cloudflare Network Interconnect

Better performance and reliability

With no intermediary networks between you and Cloudflare, you get faster performance and reduce unpredictability.

More secure

Each interconnection is reserved exclusively for the customer that provisions it — ensuring customer traffic is isolated and private.

Lower costs

Customers can benefit from reduced transit provider costs and may also be able to lower egress costs in the event of a cache miss.
