Network connectivity in the interconnection between partner infrastructures and Selectel is provided through a dedicated VLAN, and within the Selectel infrastructure through a global router (private routed network).
Cost
The cost of the service is calculated individually depending on the selected cloud platform and connection location.
If Selectel Cloud Platform is involved in the connection, additionally charged external traffic. Global cloud platforms may also charge for external traffic according to their pricing.
