Why Peer at LINX LON1?
LINX LON1 is one of the largest internet exchanges in the world in London, GB. With approximately 839 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 18 connected data centers can purchase a cross-connect to LINX LON1's shared switching fabric and start peering bilaterally or via route servers.
Typical reasons network operators peer at LINX LON1:
- 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
