A hosted InterLink is provisioned via a [partner](/interlink/concepts/#partner). Partners are telecom operators or network providers that have been pre-selected by Scaleway. They provide a shareable port on their router, with a certain amount of bandwidth, at a [PoP](/interlink/concepts/#location) (location) where both Scaleway and the partner's networks are present. The available bandwidth is shared between multiple customers: each gets a specified amount when creating their InterLink.

By choosing a hosted InterLink, you can re-use existing connectivity between a PoP where both you and the partner are present, and the Scaleway network. Layer 2 isolation to your Scaleway VPC is preserved, with guaranteed bandwidth (100Mbps - 25Gbps) across the InterLink.

InterLink uses [**B**order **G**ateway **P**rotocol](/interlink/concepts/#border-gateway-protocol-bgp) to exchange routing information between the customer’s network and the Scaleway VPC.

Each side advertises IP prefixes for its own internal subnets and resources, to allow the other side to dynamically learn and update its internal routes. This facilitates efficient traffic flow across the link towards these destinations, providing that [routing policies](#routing-policies) and [route propagation](#route-propagation) have been correctly set up.

In fact, each InterLink has two BGP sessions: one for IPv4 and one for IPv6. Each session handles the exchange of IP prefixes for its respective IP version. The separation of these sessions ensures that IPv4 and IPv6 traffic can be managed independently, and provides compatibility with networks that may only support one of the IP versions.

When both BGP sessions are up, the InterLink has `Active` status. If one BGP session is up, and the other down, the status moves to `Limited Connectivity`.

## What is a Public Gateway?
## Overview

### What is a Public Gateway?

Public Gateways sit at the border of Private Networks. They provide services to deal with traffic entering and exiting the network (NAT), and SSH bastion. A Public Gateway can be attached to up to 8 Private Networks, and up to 50 Public Gateways are supported per [Organization](/organizations-and-projects/concepts/#organization).

The Public Gateway can be configured through the console or the [API](https://www.scaleway.com/en/developers/api/public-gateway/).

## Does the Public Gateway require a public IPv4 address?

No. A public IPv4 address (aka. flexible IP) must be assigned to the Public Gateway at creation time, but you can detach it and delete it afterward if you do not require it to be publically accessible.
## Offering and availability

## Can my Instances and other resources access the internet via a Public Gateway without a public IP address?

Yes. The Public Gateway can advertise itself as the [default route to the internet](/public-gateways/concepts/#default-route) over the Private Network it is attached to, so that Instances and other resources can access the internet via the gateway. Resources attached to other Private Networks than the gateway's network in the VPC can [opt in](/vpc/how-to/manage-routing/#how-to-manage-default-route-scope) to receive its default route advertisement.
Moreover, the Public Gateway supports [static NAT](/public-gateways/how-to/configure-a-public-gateway/#how-to-review-and-configure-nat) (aka. port forwarding), so that ingress traffic from the public internet can reach Instances on the Private Network. This works by mapping pre-defined ports of the public IP address of the gateway to specific ports and IP addresses on the VPC.

## What happened to static leases (DHCP reservations) when DHCP moved from the Public Gateway to Private Networks?
### What happened to static leases (DHCP reservations) when DHCP moved from the Public Gateway to Private Networks?

On 12 July 2023, DHCP functionality moved from Public Gateways to Private Networks. See our [dedicated migration documentation](/vpc/reference-content/vpc-migration/) for full details.

Pre-existing static leases created via the Public Gateway were fully migrated and still work for your attached resources on a Private Network. Manual static lease configuration is still available via the API v1 and other developer tools, but this functionality is now deprecated, and does not exist in v2 of the API.

Read our [dedicated documentation](/public-gateways/reference-content/understanding-v2/) to learn how to put your gateway into IPAM-mode and replicate static DHCP reservation functionality with Scaleway IPAM.

## Why is my Public Gateway labeled as Legacy?
### Why is my Public Gateway labeled as Legacy?

**Legacy** Public Gateways use a [workaround](/vpc/reference-content/vpc-migration/#public-gateways-and-vpc) to ensure compatibility with Scaleway's IPAM (**I** **P** **A**ddress **M**anagement) tool. IPAM acts as a single source of truth for the IP addresses of Scaleway resources

Your gateway is a legacy gateway if you created it prior to 17 October 2023 and you never recreated it in IPAM mode. Legacy gateways are now deprecated, as they are incompatible with v2 of the Public Gateways API. Such gateways must be [moved to IPAM mode](/public-gateways/reference-content/understanding-v2/) before October 2025 to ensure ongoing functionality.

## I received a message about v1 of the Public Gateways API being deprecated, do I need to take action?
### I received a message about v1 of the Public Gateways API being deprecated, do I need to take action?

The Public Gateways API v1 is now deprecated, and will be removed on 1 October 2025. Only IPAM-mode gateways will be compatible with the new version of the API (v2). Whether or not you need to take action depends on the following two points:

## Do I need a Public Gateway for each Availability Zone (AZ)?
## Specifications

### Does the Public Gateway require a public IPv4 address?

No. A public IPv4 address (aka. flexible IP) must be assigned to the Public Gateway at creation time, but you can detach it and delete it afterward if you do not require it to be publically accessible.

### Do I need a Public Gateway for each Availability Zone (AZ)?

VPC and Private Networks are both [regional](/public-gateways/concepts/#region-and-availability-zone), meaning they span all AZs across a given region. Even though Public Gateways are zoned and not regional, one Public Gateway attached to a regional Private Network is functionally enough, and will cover the whole region. That is to say a Public Gateway created in PAR-1 can serve Instances in PAR-2 and PAR-3, as long as they are all attached to the same PAR-region Private Network.

## How can I achieve truly High Availability (HA) networking when the Public Gateway is a zoned resource?
## Access and security

### Can my Instances and other resources access the internet via a Public Gateway without a public IP address?

Yes. The Public Gateway can advertise itself as the [default route to the internet](/public-gateways/concepts/#default-route) over the Private Network it is attached to, so that Instances and other resources can access the internet via the gateway. Resources attached to other Private Networks than the gateway's network in the VPC can [opt in](/vpc/how-to/manage-routing/#how-to-manage-default-route-scope) to receive its default route advertisement.
Moreover, the Public Gateway supports [static NAT](/public-gateways/how-to/configure-a-public-gateway/#how-to-review-and-configure-nat) (aka. port forwarding), so that ingress traffic from the public internet can reach Instances on the Private Network. This works by mapping pre-defined ports of the public IP address of the gateway to specific ports and IP addresses on the VPC.

## Usage and management

### How can I achieve truly High Availability (HA) networking when the Public Gateway is a zoned resource?

Notwithstanding the answer to the previous question, if you have a single Public Gateway in, for example, PAR-1, serving resources from other AZs on the same Private Network and there is an outage in the PAR-1 zone, the gateway will not be able to serve the resources from other unaffected AZs. We are working to improve and develop our Public Gateway product to counteract this.

In the meantime, if this is a concern, you could consider attaching several Public Gateways from different AZs to a single Private Network, each advertising a default route to the internet. As long as you are using a recent kernel (e.g. Ubuntu Jammy, Debian bookworm), the traffic will be spread across the different gateways. In the case of an outage in one AZ, you will only lose the gateway in that zone, and the others will continue to serve traffic.
