At Big Network, we enjoy blogging about industry trends, product announcements, customer case-studies and unique ways we've seen people use Big Network in the wild. As we continue to grow our globally distributed team, we'll be talking more about the team and the (often hard) decisions we're making to keep growing.
From ISP bonding and virtual LANs to zero-touch remote access, we'll dive into how to keep people and devices securely online—on any network, from any location. You’ll find practical tutorials, product updates, and deep dives for IT leaders building always-on infrastructure.

If your failover strategy is still “have a second ISP and hope,” you’re behind. True continuity requires: Application-level resilience; Multipath awareness; Seamless session preservation; Full control and observability

Failover and switchover are often used interchangeably in conversations about network continuity. But here’s the truth: they’re not the same thing—and if your system is built around the wrong one, it may not work the moment you need it most.

We built a real-world test lab to compare Linux bridging with Vector Packet Processing (VPP) on Big Network hardware. The results? Not even close. In three iperf3 scenarios—including a baseline, traditional Linux bridge, and VPP-based bridge—VPP delivered near line-rate performance with dramatically fewer retransmits. This post breaks down how VPP works, why it matters, and what makes it essential for modern embedded networking at 10G and beyond.

This article reframes Internet Failover as a design mindset—not just a backup plan. It traces the evolution from DIY ISPs to Big Network’s edge-first platform, showing why real resilience requires local, intelligent routing that moves faster than BGP or cloud-based failover ever could.

Adam Schaeffer, founder of Core Transit, works with organizations where being connected isn’t optional. His clients — healthcare providers, nonprofits, and hybrid enterprises — depend on real-time access to clinical systems, cloud apps, voice, video, and security platforms. They expect it to work whether they’re sitting at a headquarters desk or at a remote clinic an hour outside of town.

We publish hands-on guides, architectural patterns, and field notes from real deployments. If you’re wrestling with flaky WAN links, needing Layer-2 reach into remote sites, or trying to secure IoT fleets without VPN chaos, you’re in the right place. Expect practical walkthroughs, config snippets, and decision frameworks you can apply the same day.
How is Big Network different from a traditional VPN?
Instead of tunneling everyone through a single choke point, BigNetwork builds a private, encrypted overlay where each node talks peer-to-peer—no fragile concentrator to babysit.
Can I bond multiple ISPs for more uptime?
Yes. BigNetwork can aggregate diverse links and fail over automatically, keeping sessions alive when a circuit drops.
Does this work on mobile devices?
Absolutely. Our Big Apps run on iOS and Android, giving phones and tablets full access like they’re on-site.
Is Layer-2 bridging supported?
Yes. You can extend VLANs and broadcast domains across locations without MPLS or complex routing gymnastics.
How hard is deployment?
Most teams go from download to connected in minutes. No firewall surgery—Big Apps traverse NAT out of the box.
