Within IP address management, service binding refers to the association of an IP (or a range of IPs) to specific Cloudflare services.
13+
14+
## Scope
15+
16+
Currently, if you have BYOIP configured with [Magic Transit](/magic-transit/), you can use the [service binding](/api/operations/ip-address-management-service-bindings-list-service-bindings) endpoints to add CDN or Spectrum capabilities on top of Magic Transit.
17+
18+
### CDN (Cache)
19+
20+
When you add the CDN service binding, any HTTP requests received via designated IPs are directed into the CDN pipeline (for [Layer 7 processing](/fundamentals/concepts/how-cloudflare-works/#how-cloudflare-works-as-a-reverse-proxy)) as they land on the Cloudflare network.
21+
22+
Refer to [Use BYOIP with Magic Transit and CDN](/byoip/service-bindings/magic-transit-with-cdn/) to learn how to set this up.
23+
24+
### Spectrum
25+
26+
Adding [Spectrum](/spectrum/) allows you to benefit from Cloudflare security and performance for Layer 4 traffic.
27+
28+
## API
29+
30+
Service binding operations are currently only available via API. You can find all endpoints and their specifications in the [Cloudflare API documentation](/api/operations/ip-address-management-service-bindings-list-service-bindings).
31+
32+
## Limitations
33+
34+
- It is currently not possible to use both Spectrum and CDN together with the Magic Transit service. You must choose one or the other when upgrading your IPs.
35+
- You must keep Magic Transit as a common base service, spanning all addresses in your prefix.
36+
- Once a service binding is created, its propagation across the Cloudflare network will take four to six hours to complete.
