AnchorSite determines which Telnyx Point of Presence (PoP) handles media routing for SIP calls.

Configuration modes

Latency mode

Automatically selects the optimal PoP based on ICMP ping latency measurements to the SIP endpoint. Requirements:
  • IP/FQDN authentication: Whitelist Telnyx media IP addresses for ICMP
  • Credential authentication: Include username in Contact header or X-Telnyx-Username header:
Contact: <sip:[email protected]:5060>
X-Telnyx-Username: connection_username
  • TeXML: PoP selected based on latency to webhook URL IP

Manual mode

Explicitly select a PoP for predictable routing behavior. Available PoPs:
ValueLocation
chicagoNorth America Central
ashburnNorth America East
san-joseNorth America West
amsterdamEurope
sydneyAsia Pacific

Configuration

PATCH /v2/ip_connections/:
{
  "anchorsite_override": "latency"
}
For manual selection:
{
  "anchorsite_override": "chicago"
}

Failover

If the selected PoP is unavailable (maintenance, outage, health check failure), calls automatically reroute through the next available PoP.
