Top Features

Virtual Layer 3 routing

Managed Layer 3 routing service connects multiple cloud providers over private VXC links without deploying physical routers, eliminating hardware ownership, maintenance, and data center costs.

BGP, static routes & NAT

Full BGP dynamic routing with BFD fast failover, static route management up to 10,000 routes, NAT for flexible addressing, and Q-in-Q VLAN stacking for enterprise-scale multicloud architectures.

Scalable throughput tiers

Five speed tiers from 1Gbps up to 100Gbps routing capacity let you right-size bandwidth for any workload, with rate limits applied across all VXCs provisioned through your MCR instance.

Beyond licensing, a seamless, fully supported Megaport Cloud Router experience with Discreet Vision.

Why Your Business Needs Megaport Cloud Router

Megaport Cloud Router isn't just a virtual router, it's a managed Layer 3 routing platform for multicloud networks, enabling private cloud-to-cloud connectivity, BGP peering, and global SDN performance with zero hardware.

No Hardware to Manage: Deploy virtual routing in minutes without ordering, racking, configuring, or maintaining physical routing equipment, eliminating the capital costs and lead times traditional networking takes.

Private Multicloud Connectivity: Privately peer between AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle, and 300+ providers on the Megaport Marketplace without the public internet, improving performance and security.

Low-Latency Cloud On-Ramps: MCR instances sit in key global routing zones close to major cloud on-ramps, delivering lower latency and higher throughput for latency-sensitive multicloud workloads.

Enterprise Routing Features: BGP with BFD, static routes, NAT, Q-in-Q VLAN stacking, jumbo frames up to 9074 MTU, and support for up to 10,000 routes give network engineers full control over traffic.

Get in touch today

Built for how modern enterprises connect multicloud networks.

Everything your business needs to route multicloud traffic at enterprise scale, delivered as one managed virtual Layer 3 router covering private cloud peering, BGP routing, NAT, Q-in-Q support, throughput up to 100Gbps, and Terraform for infrastructure-as-code workflows.

Managed Virtual Layer 3 Routing

Megaport Cloud Router is a fully managed virtual router service operating at Layer 3 on the Megaport software-defined network, connecting two or more independent Virtual Cross Connect (VXC) services into a single routing domain. Deploy and provision from the Megaport Portal in minutes, without ordering, racking, or configuring physical routing equipment. Routing decisions happen close to cloud on-ramps for dramatically reduced latency, improved throughput, and simplified multicloud topology.

BGP, Static Routes & Advanced Features

Full Border Gateway Protocol support with 2-byte and 4-byte ASNs, per-peer local ASNs, BGP Multi-Exit Discriminator for VXC prioritization, and Bidirectional Forwarding Detection for fast link failover. Static route management handles up to 10,000 routes per MCR for complete control over traffic engineering, while Network Address Translation enables flexible addressing for secure multi-tenant architectures. Q-in-Q VLAN stacking carries multiple sub-VLANs over one VXC at scale.

Multicloud Private Peering

Privately peer between AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, and over 300 additional cloud, IaaS, and SaaS providers available on the Megaport Marketplace ecosystem. Build any-to-any secure environments for public and private resources with routing decisions made from a single virtual zone. Multi-region and multicloud deployments route privately over Megaport’s global SDN backbone, bypassing the public internet for security, performance, and data sovereignty.

Scalable Throughput & Global Footprint

Five speed tiers scale from 1Gbps to 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, 10Gbps, or 100Gbps routing throughput, with rate limits applied as aggregate capacity across all VXCs attached to your MCR instance. Deploy in key global routing zones across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and more regions worldwide to minimize latency for users at scale. IP MTU values up to 9074 bytes support jumbo frames for high-throughput workloads like machine learning model training and bulk data transfers.

API, Terraform & Portal Management

Manage MCR instances, VXCs, BGP peers, and routing policies through the Megaport Portal’s intuitive graphical interface, the comprehensive REST API, or the Megaport Terraform Provider for infrastructure-as-code workflows with CI/CD pipelines. The MCR Looking Glass provides single-screen visibility into routing protocols and live routing tables for fast troubleshooting. Deploy, scale, and modify multicloud network architectures in minutes without raising tickets with carriers.
