# Providers
|
|
|

A provider is any entity which provides some form of connectivity of among sites or organizations within a site. While this obviously includes carriers which offer Internet and private transit service, it might also include Internet exchange (IX) points and even organizations with whom you peer directly. Each [circuit](./circuit.md) within NetBox must be assigned a provider and a circuit ID which is unique to that provider.
