  Key terminology that applies to Network Connectivity products.

Connect to Google Cloud

• Cloud VPN

  Securely extends your peer network to Google's network through an IPsec VPN tunnel.

• Cloud Interconnect

  Extends your on-premises network to Google's network through a highly available, low latency connection. You can use Dedicated Interconnect to connect directly to Google, or use Partner Interconnect to connect to Google through a supported service provider.

• Cloud Router

  Uses the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to dynamically exchange routes between your VPC network and peer networks when you use Cloud VPN or Cloud Interconnect.

• Network Connectivity Center

  Network Connectivity Center lets you use a hub-and-spoke architecture for network connectivity management. With this architecture, you can conduct data transfer between your sites. Network Connectivity Center also includes the Router appliance feature, which lets you use a third-party network virtual appliance to establish site-to-site or site-to-cloud connectivity.

Connect to Google Workspace and supported APIs

• Direct Peering

  Enables you to establish a direct peering connection between your business network and Google's edge network and exchange high-throughput cloud traffic.

• Carrier Peering

  Enables you to peer with Google by connecting through a support provider that in turn peers with Google.

Connect to supported CDN providers

• CDN Interconnect

  Enables select CDN providers to establish direct peering links with Google's edge network at various locations, which enables you to direct your traffic from your VPC networks to a provider's network.
