Peering Services

Switching infrastructure for your peering with other members

Public Peering

Members can connect to MMIX using one or more physical connections and reach many other peers on the peering fabric, thus optimizing the cost per peer when exchanging traffic between different networks.

  • Ports available: 1G, 10G and 40G
  • Cost-effective traffic exchange
  • Access to multiple peers
  • Scalable infrastructure

Private Peering

Members can choose to establish private peering among themselves via a dedicated VLAN over MMIX infrastructure.

  • Dedicated VLAN for private connections
  • MMIX does not assign IP addresses
  • Prohibits multiple MAC addresses on the port
  • Secure and direct connectivity

Route Server

MMIX operates 2 route-servers (RS). Once peered with the RS, there is no need to maintain multiple BGP sessions with other members.

  • Reduces BGP session complexity
  • Efficient route exchange
  • Supports multiple peers
  • Redundant servers for reliability

Route Server Peering Conditions

Technical Requirements

  • Removes private ASN in the prefix advertisement
  • Prefixes stated in RFC 1918 should be removed
  • Disables check on first-ASN (Huawei/Cisco specific)
  • Accepts a maximum of 200 prefixes by default in RS

Member Agreements

  • Members are advised to peer with both route servers
  • Members can establish bi-lateral peering with others
  • MMIX not responsible for traffic impact from RS policies

Colocation Services

MMIX will not provide colocation services. If you need colocation service and connection to IXP, there are 2 options available:

1

Data Center Hosting

Host your equipment at the Data Center where MMIX-POP is located, then get direct connection with IXP.

2

Member Data Center

Host your equipment at any Data Center of MMIX members to establish connection with the IXP.
