ByteDance (AS396986) is the international delivery system behind TikTok and ByteDance's other products outside China. It is the one to target — the company's second autonomous system is small — and it does not carry Douyin, which runs on separate Chinese domestic infrastructure. The traffic is short-form video: high request rates, mobile-weighted, and steady through the day rather than concentrated in release-day spikes.

ByteDance publishes harder interconnection requirements than most content networks. Private interconnect needs more than 10 Gbps at peak and a 100G or 400G port — there is no 10G option — and routes must validate as RPKI-valid rather than merely unknown. Public peering is available, including through an exchange's shared routing service, though direct sessions are preferred and a public one may be withdrawn once a private link exists. The exchange footprint is deep in Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa and absent from India and mainland China. One planning note for United States sites: the American business moved into a separate joint venture in January 2026, and whether it stays on this autonomous system is not published.
