An Internet Exchange (IX) improves Internet performance by interconnecting all networks on an open-access ethernet fabric — providing low-latency, high bandwidth, cost-efficiency, in a locale.
All participants connect to the shared switching fabric using Ethernet - either via copper or fiber. Participants use the Border Gateway routing Protocol (BGP) to exchange routing information with other connected networks.
Right now we have one switch available for cross connects - located at the Hurricane Electric FMT2 datacenter.
We are not charging port fees.

We use BIRD to power our route servers, which is a widely adopted routing engine used on IX’s around the world.
