Our Edge Network is how we connect with ISPs to get traffic to and from users

The journey starts when a user opens a Google app or requests one of our web pages.

Google responds to the user's request from an Edge Network location that will provide the lowest latency.

Our Edge Network receives the user's request and passes it to the nearest Google data center.

The data center generates a response that's optimized to provide the best experience for the user at that time.

The app or browser retrieves the requested content. This can come from multiple Google locations, including our data centers, Edge POPs, and Edge Nodes.
