-## Allowed routes list
+## Attached VPC
 
-The default rule blocks any and all routes from being propagated over InterLink. Attaching an allowed routes list (aka **routing policy**) allows you to define the ranges of routes that should be whitelisted. When creating an allowed routes list, you specify one or many IP ranges representing the outgoing routes to announce from the Scaleway VPC, and one or many IP ranges representing the incoming route announcements to accept from the external infrastructure. 
+Each InterLink can be attached to one Scaleway VPC. The InterLink and the VPC must be in the same [region](#region). You can detach the InterLink from the VPC at any time, and attach it to a different VPC in the same region, if you wish. When an InterLink is not attached to any VPC, no traffic can flow.
 
-Each InterLink can have one allowed routes list attached to it, but a single allowed routes list can be attached to multiple InterLinks, if desired. When [route propagation](#route-propagation) is activated, the route ranges defined in the allowed routes list are whitelisted, and traffic can flow across the InterLink along these routes. [Learn more about routing across an InterLink](/interlink/reference-content/overview/#routing-across-an-interLink)
+## Bandwidth
 
-You may also know allowed routes lists under the terms "routing policy", or "route filters".
+Every InterLink has a defined bandwidth, representing the maximum data transfer rate possible over the link. Measured in megabits per second (Mbps) or gigabits per second (Gbps), it shows how much data can be transmitted over InterLink per second.
 
-## Attached VPC
+## Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
 
-Each InterLink can be attached to one Scaleway VPC. The InterLink and the VPC must be in the same [region](#region). You can detach the InterLink from the VPC at any time, and attach it to a different VPC in the same region, if you wish. When an InterLink is not attached to any VPC, no traffic can flow.
+**B**order **G**ateway **P**rotocol (BGP) is a standardized gateway protocol that allows autonomous systems to exchange routing information. InterLink uses BGP to facilitate [route propagation](#route-propagation), so that the Scaleway VPC and the external infrastructure's router can learn each other's routes.
 
-## Bandwidth
+## Connection type
+
+The type of physical connection for an InterLink. In the long term, InterLink will be available in both **hosted** and **self-hosted** connection types. For now, only **hosted** connections (facilitated via a partner) are available:
+
+- **Hosted InterLink**:  The customer provisions an InterLink via a [partner](#partner). The available bandwidth of the partner's physical connection is shared between multiple customers: each gets a specified amount when creating their InterLink.
+- **Self-hosted InterLink**: The customer gets sole use of a single InterLink port on Scaleway's router, with the entire bandwidth of that port. They create their own dedicated physical connection, and can use its available bandwidth to provision several InterLinks for themselves.

 ## Route propagation
 
-Route propagation can be activated or deactivated at any given time on an InterLink. When activated, the Scaleway VPC and external infrastructure dynamically exchange and update information about their routes. Route propagation must be activated to allow traffic to flow over the InterLink. When deactivated, all pre-learned/announced routes are removed from the VPC's route table, and traffic cannot flow. Note that even with route propagation activated, the default rule blocks all route announcements: you must use an [allowed routes list](#allowed-routes-list) to specify the route ranges to whitelist.

+
+## What is InterLink and how does it work?
+
+InterLink is Scaleway's product to let you create a secure, private connection between your external infrastructure, and your Scaleway VPC. This allows you to direct your traffic safely from your Scaleway infrastructure to your on-premises infrastructure, away from the public internet.
+
+Currently, InterLink is available in **hosted** version only. This means that you must choose a compatible **partner** to facilitate your InterLink. The partner provides the physical connection, and this connection may be shared between several clients, each allocated a specific amount of bandwidth for their InterLink.
+
+At its simplest level, InterLink can be understood as a configurable connection between your own infrastructure, and your Scaleway VPC. You can configure details such as bandwidth, the VPC to connect to, and routing policies.
+
+## How can I find a partner to provision my InterLink?
+
+To establish a hosted InterLink via a partner, generally you must be a client of that partner, e.g. with your infrastructure in their data center, or on your own premises using the partner as a network provider. For more details, see our [information on choosing a partner](/interlink/reference-content/overview/how-to-choose-a-partner).
+
+You can see available partners in the Scaleway console by opening the [InterLink order form](https://console.scaleway.com/interlink/links/order). More partners will be added to Scaleway InterLink as time goes on.
+
+## I want to create a dedicated InterLink without a partner, how can I do this?
+
+We plan to make **self-hosted** InterLinks available soon, whereby a single client can provision their own physical connection without a partner, getting sole use of a single InterLink port on Scaleway's router. The bandwidth of this connection can then be used by the client to create several InterLinks just for them.
+
+You can [contact a sales representative](https://www.scaleway.com/en/contact-sales/) to register your interest in a self-hosted InterLink.
+
+## What are the benefits of using InterLink compared to other connectivity solutions?
+
+InterLink allows you to connect your Scaleway VPC to your external infrastructure and bypass the public internet entirely. Compared to a typical internet-based VPN, an InterLink is more reliable, more secure and offers lower latency.
+
+## How much does InterLink cost?
+
+See the [pricing page](https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/network/) for full details on InterLink pricing.
+
+## How can I get help with my InterLink?
+
+Join the `#interlink` channel on the [Scaleway Slack Community](/tutorials/scaleway-slack-community/) to get help and support for your InterLink during the Public Beta phase.
