The choice of uplink type will typically depend on the server or colocation package selected. For physical servers, Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is always deployed, bundling them into a single logical channel for increased throughput and redundancy. This total aggregated capacity **is** shared between public internet traffic and any [Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) service](/vpc/description) traffic.

While this service provides public internet access, our [Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) service](/vpc/description) can be used simultaneously to create an isolated, high-speed network for communication *between* your servers. This allows public-facing services to run alongside secure, high-performance backend communication, with internal VPC traffic not incurring public bandwidth charges.
