About CIXP

CERN established this Geneva exchange in 1996 and still runs it, making it a research organisation's exchange rather than a commercial or association-run one. 77 organisations connect (Aug 2026) — 49 ISPs, 21 telecom operators, 5 research and education networks and 2 remote exchanges. Peering is carried by a route-server pair on AS57859. CERN charges a one-time connection fee and an annual fee per connection.
