Why Peer at NL-ix?
NL-ix is one of the largest internet exchanges in the world in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels, Luxembourg, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Dublin, London, Copenhagen, Paris, Marseille, NL. With approximately 530 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 83 connected data centers can purchase a cross-connect to NL-ix's shared switching fabric and start peering bilaterally or via route servers.
Typical reasons network operators peer at NL-ix:
- 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
Peering Services & Cross-Connects at NL-ix
Most colocation operators at the facilities below offer direct cross-connects to the NL-ix shared fabric. When you request a free quote for colocation at any of those facilities, specify the peering services you need so operators can confirm pricing for both the cabinet and the IX port.
IX Ports & Capacity
- Port speeds — 1 GbE, 10 GbE, 100 GbE, 400 GbE for the largest members
- LACP aggregation — bond multiple ports for higher capacity
- Quarantine VLAN — pre-production isolation before going live
- Port redundancy — connect from two cabinets / switches for resilience
- Membership tiers vary by IX (member vs. customer vs. reseller)
BGP & Peering
- Bilateral peering — direct BGP sessions with chosen members
- Route server peering — multi-lateral sessions with most members in one BGP turn-up
- RPKI / ROA filtering increasingly required by route server operators
- BYO ASN — bring your own AS number; multi-homed deployments standard
- IPv4 + IPv6 dual-stack peering across both fabrics
Cross-Connect to Fabric
- Carrier-neutral cross-connect from your cabinet to the IX edge port
- SMF (single-mode fiber) for 10G+ connections
- Cross-facility — extension via dark fiber to NL-ix if your cabinet is at a remote site
- One-time install + monthly recurring billing typical
- Latency to fabric typically under 1 ms within a meet-me room
Cloud On-Ramps & Transit
- AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, Google Cloud Interconnect — many co-locate with major IXes
- IP transit blends alongside peering for non-member destinations
- DDoS mitigation — at-fabric or at-cabinet options
- Looking glass access for path diagnostics
- Route optimization tools and BGP analytics integrations
