CN2, 9929, CMIN2, CMI and international BGP: picking a route

The route decides how fast and steady your server feels from mainland China and from abroad. Below is every WawaNode product line with the networks it uses, what it suits and its starting price, followed by a glossary and how to test a route.

Every price is in CNY; pay with Alipay, WeChat Pay, cards (Stripe), USDT (TRC20) or account balance.

PICKING

Pick a route by what you need

You don't want to think about traffic allowances

Pick the OVHcloud reseller line: official OVHcloud VPS with unmetered traffic in Hillsboro or Vint Hill. Reseller products are not refundable.

You need a whole machine, lots of memory or disk

Pick a US dedicated server: whole machines in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City or Silicon Valley with ports up to 25 Gbps, racked and installed by an engineer.

GLOSSARY

Network terms, explained

These describe the carriers' networks in general; what a specific plan uses is always stated on its product page.

CN2AS4809

China Telecom's Next Carrying Network, a premium tier above the ordinary 163 backbone with less evening congestion. CN2 GIA keeps both directions on CN2; CN2 GT uses it for only part of the path.

163 骨干网AS4134

China Telecom's main public backbone (ChinaNet). It has the widest reach, but its international exits congest more easily at peak hours.

9929AS9929

China Unicom's premium network (CUII, formerly the Unicom "A network"). It carries less load than the ordinary AS4837 backbone and is steadier for cross-border traffic.

AS10099AS10099

China Unicom Global's international network, commonly used in Hong Kong and elsewhere to reach China Unicom and international destinations.

CMIAS58453

China Mobile International's network, commonly used in Hong Kong and elsewhere to improve access for China Mobile users.

CMIN2AS58807

China Mobile International's premium network, a tier above ordinary CMI, used for China Mobile-optimized routes from the US and elsewhere.

CUVIP

A common name for China Unicom "VIP" premium routing, optimized for the return path to China Unicom users. The exact networks used are stated on the product page and can be checked with a route test.

国际 BGP

International BGP: several global carriers (such as Cogent, GTT, NTT, TATA and HE) with automatic BGP path selection for worldwide reach. It is not optimized for mainland China, and suits overseas hosting, downloads and globally served workloads.

去程 / 回程

Inbound (去程) is traffic from mainland China to the server; return (回程) is traffic back to China. The two directions often use different networks, which is why product pages list them separately.

三网

China's three carriers: China Telecom, China Unicom and China Mobile. "三网精品" means premium networks toward all three; "三网直连" means a direct interconnect toward all three without detouring through other countries.

原生 IP

An IP address registered in the same country as the datacenter, which helps services that care about IP location. Whether a given online service works is still up to that service's own policies.

双向 / 单向计费

Bidirectional metering counts both upload and download against the allowance; one-way metering usually counts outbound traffic only. Each WawaNode plan states which applies on its product page.

How to test a route before you buy

  • Find a test IP: lines that publish one list it on the product page and in the table above.
  • Use ping for latency and jitter — a failed ping is not proof of a bad route, since many networks filter ICMP.
  • Use tcping on the ports you will actually use (such as 22 or 443), and mtr or traceroute to see which networks the route crosses and where packets drop.
  • Test both during the Chinese evening peak (about 20:00–23:00) and in the daytime — cross-border routes differ most at peak.
