Our services

A glimpse and overview of the services we offer.

Our innovative features

Features that distinguish us from other internet exchanges.

Alongside our default interface statistics, we also provide our members with detailed AS2AS statistics. These statistics will give you a fine-grained view into where traffic is coming from and where it is going across our platform. Allowing you to make informed decisions to manage policy and capacity.

Extending on our AS2AS functionality, we also provide graphs for the exact destinations of your traffic. For each flow across our platform, traffic is automatically accounted. This will give you insight into which (final) destination AS traffic is traversing our platform to. Both inside your network and inside the network or your peers. Enabling you to pinpoint the reason for any sudden change in traffic patterns.

To ensure your router can spend as much time as possible forwarding packets instead of replying to ARP requests, our platform will automatically handle ARP requests on behalf of your router. This allows your device to sit back while our platform handles the ARP requests. Minimising the time ARP resolution takes and the number of ARP broadcasts at the same time.

With our roots in security, we have ensured our route-servers are up to the latest internet routing security practices. Some key features provided include: IRR based route-filtering, RPKI route filtering, (in-band) community based policy enforcement. To ensure full continuity, our route-servers are monitored 24/7 and running on redundant dedicated machines.

Our platform is set up to handle your service traffic with exceptional care. Ensuring it will never end up anywhere but the intended destination. With this you can rest assured your traffic is absolutely never replicated or flooded to other members.

Support from humans

We are not a multi-million dollar company with a full-fledged team of 60 FTEs, or an IXP owned by a commercial ISP. We are privately owned, independent, neutral and very motivated to be the most innovative and competitive IXP in Europe. Our support team is powered by experienced network engineers, working hard to provide you with an unmatched exchanging experience.
