What is an IXP?
An Internet Exchange Point (IXP) is a metropolitan LAN composed of multiple Points of Presence (PoPs) where various organizations, such as ISPs, CDNs, public or private enterprises, connect to exchange traffic through peering technology.
Connecting to France-IX enhances network performance through direct peering with hundreds of players. This reduces latency, increases resilience, and lowers IP transit costs. It is an ideal solution for optimizing traffic exchanges in France and Europe.
France-IX is accessible to ISPs, network operators, enterprises, content providers, and data centers seeking to enhance their connectivity and optimize costs.
To connect to France-IX, contact us to receive the technical and commercial details. We will guide you through the integration process, including equipment configuration and establishing the necessary connections.
France-IX has Points of Presence (PoPs) in Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Paris, and Toulouse. These locations provide extensive coverage for optimal connectivity.
An ASN (Autonomous System Number) is a unique identifier assigned to an autonomous network on the Internet. It allows the management and exchange of routing information with other networks via the BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), facilitating connectivity and interoperability between different network systems.
France-IX ensures the quality and reliability of its services through redundant infrastructures, strategically located Points of Presence (PoPs), and high-performance equipment. We implement DDoS protection mechanisms, continuously monitor the network to detect and resolve anomalies promptly, and offer Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to guarantee stable and high-performance connectivity.
Latency is the delay between sending a request and receiving the response on a network. It is measured in milliseconds (ms) and affects how quickly data travels between connection points. Low latency indicates fast data transmission, thereby improving the user experience.
