# Network Interconnect (CNI)

Last updated Aug 25, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://4f1c5cd2.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/magic-transit/network-interconnect/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://4f1c5cd2.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

Cloudflare Network Interconnect (CNI) provides a private, dedicated connection between your network and Cloudflare — bypassing the public Internet entirely. This is useful when you need consistent latency, higher throughput, or an additional layer of security that public Internet paths cannot guarantee.

With CNI, you get the same Cloudflare network services (firewall, routing, traffic management) applied to your traffic, but over a connection that does not traverse shared Internet infrastructure.

For more information about Network Interconnect, refer to the [Cloudflare Network Interconnect documentation](https://4f1c5cd2.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/network-interconnect/).
