About XiaoYuan Networks

XiaoYuan Networks builds and operates internet infrastructure from the United Kingdom. We pair careful network engineering with disciplined software, and take the long view on everything in between.

Capabilities

Three disciplines, practised together.

01 · Network

Network Infrastructure

IP connectivity, peering and interconnection, operated as AS209601 and planned dual-stack from the start.

  • IP transit
  • Peering
  • IPv4 + IPv6
  • Interconnects

02 · Software

Software Engineering

We build software the way we build networks: simple interfaces, explicit failure modes, nothing hidden.

  1. Explicit interfacesEvery boundary documented, every failure mode named.
  2. Observable by defaultIf we cannot see it, we do not ship it.
  3. Boring where it mattersProven techniques for the foundations, new ones only where they earn their place.

03 · Research

Research & Innovation

Applied questions that sit between the network and the software that runs it. We write down what we learn.

Areas of interest

  • Routing resilience and security
  • Measurement and observability at the network edge
  • Programmable interconnection

Solutions

Built around how you connect.
