Megaport Cloud Router
Megaport Cloud Router (MCR) is a managed virtual Layer 3 router linking endpoints on the Megaport Network. It can route between cloud environments without requiring a customer’s physical presence in a data center, supporting multicloud and hybrid connectivity. MCR handles up to 10,000 static and dynamic routes, including routes configured for individual sub-VLANs on Q-in-Q-capable connections. Listed BGP capabilities include BFD, MED, static routing, autonomous-system-number support, a BGP toggle, and NAT IP addresses. MCR Looking Glass provides on-demand ping and traceroute from the router for connectivity checks and routing diagnosis. An optional IPsec add-on creates encrypted tunnels for branch offices, remote sites, or cloud environments without a physical Port. Megaport documents private AWS and Microsoft Azure connections through Direct Connect and ExpressRoute virtual cross connects, plus coverage for Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, IBM Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud. API documentation and a Terraform Provider support automation. Pricing starts at $780/mo; terms include monthly billing and a default 12-month minimum.
