Reaching the fabric from elsewhere
If your network equipment is not in a Peer1IX facility, you can still connect. A transport circuit from your location to the facility carries your traffic to a Peer1IX port.
Reseller options
Some carriers and partners resell access to Peer1IX, delivering a port as part of their own connectivity service. This can be a simple way to start.
What to consider
- Latency: traffic travels the transport distance before reaching the fabric.
- Resilience: a single transport circuit is a single point of failure.
- Cost: transport adds to the port cost.
Moving closer
As traffic grows, the case for placing equipment directly in a Peer1IX location — or at a nearby Micro PoP — strengthens.
