SIX Seattle is a major peering hub in Seattle, US.
With approximately 374
member networks peering on its fabric, joining cuts transit costs by routing
traffic directly to other members instead of through upstream IP transit providers.
Operators colocated at any of the 15
connected data centers can purchase a cross-connect
to SIX Seattle's shared switching fabric and start peering bilaterally
or via route servers.
Typical reasons network operators peer at SIX Seattle:
Lower transit costs — peer with major content providers and eyeball networks directly
Reduced latency — bypass upstream transit for traffic destined to other IX members
Better redundancy — multi-homed BGP via the IX fabric plus your transit providers
Cloud on-ramps — many IXes co-located with AWS / Azure / GCP direct connect points
