More of the right peers
Exchange traffic with the networks, content platforms, clouds and organizations your users depend on through one port.
More than peering. A global ecosystem.
Peer with the right networks today and expand into new metros, services and AI workloads tomorrow, all through one consistent global exchange.
Peering is just the start
Connect alongside Equinix Fabric®, cross connects and Network Edge within the same Equinix ecosystem. Add private connectivity and cloud access as needs evolve, without changing providers or leaving the data center.
One exchange, everywhere
Use a consistent set of policies, route servers, portal tools and support as you expand across EIX metros.
Ready for AI traffic
Bring inference and data flows closer to users and AI providers with high-capacity ports and direct routes.
Built for every kind of network
Use direct peering to improve traffic economics, application performance and ecosystem reach across network, content, cloud, AI and digital-service environments.
Choose how you peer
Use public peering to exchange traffic bilaterally with participants, multilateral peering exchange (MLPE) route servers to reach many peers through fewer BGP sessions, or a Private VLAN for private bilateral peering and closed communities. Choose the model that fits your performance, control and operational requirements.
Reach Internet Exchange your way
Order an EIX port in a supported metro and connect through a cross connect, Campus Cross Connect or Metro Connect®. Choose the connectivity option that best fits your deployment model and operational requirements while maintaining direct access to the EIX ecosystem.
Scale traffic with control
Support growing cloud, digital and AI traffic with 10G, 100G and 400G port options and link aggregation. Connect into one of the world's largest peering ecosystems, spanning 209 IBXs, more than 2,280 ASNs and 50 Tbps of monthly peak traffic. Monitor traffic and simplify ongoing peering operations through APIs and traffic analytics.
Protect traffic and route integrity
Use RTBH support to drop attack traffic at the exchange before it reaches your router. Route-server filtering and LAN-hygiene practices help reduce exposure to route leaks and malicious traffic across the shared peering LAN.
Built for every kind of network
Exchange traffic directly with the networks that matter to your business to improve performance, lower transit costs and expand your reach.
Network and access providers
Peer with carriers, ISPs and mobile operators to deliver traffic closer to end users, with fewer hops and lower latency.
Content and streaming
Connect directly with content and streaming networks to deliver video, gaming and media with better performance for your users.
Cloud and AI providers
Exchange traffic with cloud and AI providers over peering connections, improving performance for applications and workloads that rely on them.
SaaS and digital services
Reach the SaaS platforms and digital services your users depend on through direct peering, for faster, more consistent experiences.
Transit cost optimization
Move traffic from paid transit to peering where it makes sense, so you can reduce costs and keep spending predictable as traffic grows.
Network expansion
Extend your reach to new markets and peers through one connection, so you can grow your network without building it from scratch.
