Multipass

Access all France-IX cities from a single location with Multipass.

Multipass is a national peering service offered by France-IX. It allows customers to access all available routes from other France-IX points of presence through a single port, without the need to connect locally in each city.

France-IX is responsible for collecting routes from peers in remote cities who wish to have their routes announced through the Multipass service.

Optionally, an advanced network visibility solution can be added to provide detailed statistics on the usage and destinations of the Multipass service.

Discover the benefits of the Multipass service

Multipass extends your connectivity while simplifying your network management. It gives you access to a national peering ecosystem from a single location, at no additional cost (for contracted bandwidths ≤2Gbps) and with optimized performance.

Multipass: a simple way to access routes from remote France-IX cities

Multipass routers are deployed in every city where France-IX operates: Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon (and Grenoble), Marseille, Paris, and Toulouse. These routers collect the routes announced by members, either directly or via the route servers, and then redistribute them to all Multipass customers.

This model ensures consistent and controlled route distribution. Multipass customers do not use the route servers to announce their routes to remote peers — this function is handled by the Multipass routers, providing better routing policy control through BGP communities.

The service functions as a natural extension of local peering, with no additional cost for 200M, 1G, and 2G capacities. Beyond that (10G and above), a surcharge applies, which includes the network visibility solution.
