France-IX deployed interconnections with the IXPs LYONIX in Lyon, LU-CIX in Luxemburg, Top-IX in Turin and TouIX in Toulouse, enabling France-IX's members to peer with theirs.
These interconnections are limited to 100 Mbps per member. Above this limit a direct connection to France-IX or to the other IXPs is required. Thus France-IX can deny the access to this service to a member if its traffic exceeds the limit.
An IXP can not be used to do transit between partner IXPs or between a partner IXP and tier IXPs.
* Only members of the partner IXPs can peer with France-IX members.
* If a member from a tier IXP, connected to a partner IXP but not to France-IX, would like to peer with a France-IX member, a direct connection to our point is necessary.
This service does not involve additional costs.
To access the interconnections' service, contact us at l2-support_at_franceix.net.
The peering between France-IX and LYONIX members are managed by a LYONIX router. BGP communities were specifically defined to mark LYONIX routes received on France-IX route servers. Then, France-IX members can easily identify these routes.
This solution doesn't require for France-IX or LYONIX to allocate additionnal IP addresses to the members.
