What is IX Peering?

Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) provide key connection points that facilitate efficient data transfer. When a provider directly connects to other networks in a local IX (peering), they “shorten” the distance between their own network and other local participating networks, allowing them to reach a local market with less latency, and often, reduced costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Internet Exchange (IX) Peering?

Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) provide key connection points that facilitate efficient data transfer. When a provider directly connects to other networks in a local IX (peering), they “shorten” the distance between their own network and other local participating networks, allowing them to reach a local market with less latency, and often, reduced costs.

Which internet exchanges does NetActuate peer with?

NetActuate peers at exchanges across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. Contact our team for a current list of IXP locations and available port speeds.

Do I need my own ASN to peer?

Yes. IX peering requires your own autonomous system number (ASN). If you need help obtaining one, our team can guide you through the process.

Can I participate in route servers?

Yes. Route server participation is supported at most exchanges, allowing you to peer with multiple networks without establishing individual bilateral sessions.

How does IX Peering complement IP Transit?

IX peering handles traffic exchange with networks present at the same exchange at no per-byte cost (beyond port fees), while transit handles all remaining internet traffic. The combination significantly reduces transit bills while improving routing quality.
