## What is InterLink?
17+
18+
InterLink is Scaleway's product to let you create a secure, private connection between your external infrastructure, and your Scaleway VPC. This allows you to direct your traffic safely from your Scaleway infrastructure to your on-premises infrastructure, away from the public internet.
19+
20+
Currently, InterLink is available in **hosted** version only. This means that you must choose a compatible [partner](/network/interlink/concepts/#partner) to facilitate the physical connection between the external infrastructure and the Scaleway VPC. The physical connection may be shared between several clients, each allocated a specific amount of bandwidth for their InterLink.

For more information on how InterLink works, see our [detailed overview](/network/ipam/reference-content/overview/).

## What is the difference between a V C-Private Network, a site-to-site VPN and a Scaleway InterLink?
27+
28+
VPC is a logically isolated private network within a Scaleway infrastructure where you can deploy resources, such as Instances, Managed Databases or Kubernetes Kapsule, away from the public internet.
29+
30+
Site-to-site VPN allows secure communication between your on-premises network and your cloud-based VPC over the public internet.
31+
32+
Scaleway InterLink provides a hosted, private, and high-performance connection between your on-premises network and your VPC (physically hosted in a Scaleway data center).
33+
34+
## Does Scaleway InterLink support MPLS and L2 interconnections?
35+
36+
No, so far Scaleway InterLink only supports layer 3 interconnections in BGP mode.
37+
38+
## Which partners are available to host my InterLink?
39+
40+
You can see the full range of available partners in the Scaleway [console](https://console.scaleway.com/) when you create an InterLink, or via the [API](https://www.scaleway.com/en/developers/api/interlink/#path-partners-list-available-partners). If you're looking for a partner that isn't available, [get in touch](https://www.scaleway.com/en/contact-sales/) to let us know.
