Peering Connection (PC) is a high-bandwidth and high-quality connectivity service that supports communication among Tencent Cloud resources. PC facilitates interconnection among multiple regions, accounts or heterogeneous networks, making it ideal for complex network scenarios such as 2-region-3-DC cloud-based disaster recovery or unified game servers. Additionally, it supports interconnection among VPCs, basic networks and BM networks, readily satisfying the different deployment needs of your businesses.
Peering Connection
A stable and affordable cloud-based network connection service
Overview
Benefits
Multi-network Interconnection
PC can help you achieve heterogeneous interconnection among resources on different Tencent Cloud networks such as VPCs, BM networks and basic networks and supports on-demand deployment for different businesses to enable peering data communications.
Fine-tuned Traffic Management
PC provides monitoring and control capabilities at the IP-gateway granularity to help you quickly locate network problems through network traffic visualization and IP-level traffic management and ensure key business continuity through precisely configured QoS policies.
Cloud Resource Sharing
PC supports network resource sharing between different VPCs on Tencent Cloud and enables you to easily build a 2-region-3-DC cloud-based disaster recovery solution by leveraging the data synchronization among different IDCs made possible by Tencent Cloud IDCs.
Security
PC features non-transferable interconnectivity to ensure data security, meaning the interconnection between two VPCs enabled by PC will be non-transferable so that your data will not be sent to other VPCs where a peering connection has not been established.
Cross-account Interconnection
PC supports network interconnection among different accounts. Resources under multiple accounts are able to access one another through the utilization of routing strategies configured at both ends. In addition, PC supports traffic interconnection between your VPC and the VPC of another company or provider.
Stability and High Availability
PC's underlying high-availability physical architecture does not rely on any single piece of hardware, eliminating the potential for single points of failure and bandwidth bottlenecks and providing stable and highly available network interconnection.

Cross-account Interconnection
Multi-network Interconnection
PC can help you achieve interconnection among resources on different Tencent Cloud networks:
• Between two VPCs
• Between a VPC and a BM network
• Between a VPC and a basic network
It enables smooth communication among Tencent Cloud resources and supports on-demand deployment for different businesses, allowing you to manage various types of cloud networks with ease.
Gateway Traffic Control
The gateway traffic control feature of PC provides monitoring and control capabilities at the IP-gateway granularity, enabling refined gateway traffic visualization for straightforward insights into the traffic. In addition, PC's speed limiting capability helps block traffic with exceptions.
For example, if a company's gateway traffic suddenly increases in the early morning, by leveraging intelligent gateway traffic control, OPS personnel can track which IPs are causing the surges based on the timestamps of the surges and thereby quickly locate the root cause. Additionally, gateway traffic control provides bandwidth control at the IP-gateway granularity, which can limit the bandwidth from an IP to the gateway to block traffic with exceptions and ensure the continuity of critical businesses.
Non-transferable Interconnection
PC can establish interconnection between two VPCs that cannot be transferred. For instance, suppose peering connections are established between VPC 1 and VPC 2 and between VPC 1 and VPC 3. However, due to the non-transferability of the interconnection, the traffic of VPC 2 and VPC 3 cannot be interconnected.
Cross-account Interconnection
PC supports network interconnection among different Tencent Cloud accounts. It enables traffic interconnection among your VPCs or with the VPCs of another company or provider by utilizing the routing strategies configured at both ends.
