  • 5th largest* Exchange in the world

    With 270 members, local presence at 40 local datacenters throughout the Netherlands and a #5 global position, the NL-ix Internet Exchange has rapidly developed into a major hub for both National and International peering traffic.

    NL-ix offers more unique members (not to be found elsewhere) then any other IX in the world (only second to the MSK-IX). A large and unique membership is attractive for both Public and Private peering and a unique neutral marketplace for community specific traffic exchange.
