Remote Peering

We provide the option to remotely connect to the World’s largest Internet Exchanges without having to colocate equipment on the remote side.

Connecting to internet exchange points (IXPs) via peering exchanges offers several benefits:

Cost Efficiency

Peering reduces the need for expensive transit services from third-party providers, lowering overall bandwidth costs.

Improved Performance

Direct connections between networks reduce latency and improve data transfer speeds, leading to better end-user performance.

Increased Redundancy

Peering provides alternative paths for data traffic, enhancing network reliability and fault tolerance.

Traffic Management

By directly exchanging traffic with other networks, ISPs can better manage and control their data flows, leading to more efficient network utilization.

Overall, peering at IXPs improves the quality, reliability, and efficiency of internet services.

Internet Exchanges that we offer remote peering include;

NAPAfrica

Has multiple regional peering exchanges located in South Africa within the Teraco Datacentre environments, which include Johannesburg (which is by far the largest of the three), Cape Town, and Durban.

INX-ZA

Managed and operated by the Internet Service Providers Association of South Africa, one of the oldest exchanges has grown significantly, helping to improve and reduce the costs of Internet services in South Africa. INX-ZA is made up of multiple geographic regions which include JINX (Johannesburg IX), CINX (Cape Town IX), and DINX (Durban IX).

DE-CIX

DE CIX is one of the world’s leading interconnection platform, managing more than 9 Terabits per second peak traffic. DE-CIX is extremely advanced as an Ethernet platform and has had 100% uptime since 2007.

AMS-IX

AMS-IX ( Amsterdam Internet Exchange) is a neutral member-based association that operates multiple interconnection platforms around the world. Is has been running for over 25 years and is one of the largest hubs for internet traffic in the world.

LINX

LINX (The London Internet Exchange) is one of the largest Internet exchanges in the world, connecting over 650 members from over 65 countries around the globe.

Should you be interested in exploring and experimenting with remote peering, we offer remote peering to certain exchanges. As prerequisite for Peering is that you have your own ASN and public IP address space.
