Nomenclature
Here we define the terms used on Tunnel-IP.com
Tunnel :
A tunnel creates a virtual connection between two remote sites by encapsulating data packets one network protocol into another. This enables public IP addresses to be routed over a remote infrastructure. infrastructure.
At Tunnel-IP.com, these tunnels can be configured using various technologies such as GRE, EOIP, VXLAN, Wireguard, OpenVPN, IPsec, etc., offering flexibility in the choice of protocol to suit our customers' specific needs. needs of our customers_.
Subnet :
A subnet refers to a subdivision of a larger IP network. A subnet is a range of contiguous IP addresses are used to create subnets within a global network.

Bridge :
A bridge is a virtual switch used to connect and group together different Layer 2 tunnels. A virtual bridge is created to facilitate communication between these tunnels, enabling them to interact as if they were part of the same local network. as if they were part of the same local network.
When using a bridge at Tunnel-IP.com, you can link several Layer 2 tunnels, such as EOIP or VXLAN, to create an extended network topology. This enables your devices or networks connected to the various tunnels to communicate with each other as if they were directly connected to the same Ethernet switch._
BGP session:
BGP is a routing protocol used to exchange routing information between the various gateways in your network and Tunnel routers. your network and Tunnel-IP.com routers. When you set up a BGP session with Tunnel-IP.com, you are establish a secure and reliable connection that allows your routes and IP prefixes to be advertised across Tunnel-IP.com's network. network.
