v1 (Classic): GRE tunnel support, VLAN/BFD/LACP, asymmetric MTU (1500↓/1476↑), peering support.
v2 (Beta): No GRE, 1500 MTU both ways, no VLAN/BFD/LACP yet, ECMP instead.
| Direction | 10G | 100G |
|---|---|---|
| CF → Customer | 10 Gbps | 100 Gbps |
| Customer → CF (peering) | 10 Gbps | 100 Gbps |
| Customer → CF (Magic) | 1 Gbps/tunnel or CNI | 1 Gbps/tunnel or CNI |
2-4 weeks typical. Steps: request → config review → order connection → configure → test → enable health checks → activate → monitor.
