Meet the Bigleaf router
Your gateway to an internet without downtime
- Arrives pre-configured with your circuit details for 90-second plug-and-play installation
- Installs outside of your firewall and works with any existing network infrastructure
- Connects up to four broadband circuits
- Connects your business to our backbone Cloud Access Network with a Bigleaf-issued IP block
Intelligent software for unrivaled connectivity
Resiliency and redundancy through automatic internet optimizations
Dynamic QoS
Automatically classifies and prioritizes all traffic
Ensure your business critical applications work reliably and optimally with Bigleaf’s Dynamic QoS. Bigleaf detects and identifies your traffic types in real time without manual policies, then applies QoS policies based on circuit throughput, effortlessly providing enterprise-grade QoS.
Circuit monitoring
Tracks circuit performance in real time
Bigleaf monitors each of your internet connections through to our gateway clusters for end-to-end diagnostics and visibility. Critical metrics such as latency, jitter, packet loss, and capacity are measured 10 times per second in both directions to determine how traffic should be routed for optimal application performance.
Intelligent load balancing
Gives each traffic type the resources it deserves
Bigleaf intelligently prioritizes and routes your traffic across circuits for smooth, uninterrupted connectivity. Voice and video calls are automatically routed to the circuit with the lowest latency, jitter, and packet loss, while high-throughput tasks are directed to the circuit with the most available bandwidth.
Same IP address failover
Eliminates downtime from ISP outages
Outage-proof your connection with Bigleaf-issued IP addresses that don’t change when traffic shifts between ISP circuits. Nearby cable cuts, routing issues, and network instability no longer cause downtime or slowdowns as failover is seamless and automatic and goes unnoticed by your applications.
