Internet Exchange
Neutral, distributed peering across Bharat — one port to exchange traffic with every network on the fabric, in your own city.
Peering ports
One physical port, one cross-connect, and you can exchange traffic with every network on the fabric — bilaterally or through the route servers.
For regional ISPs and enterprises starting to peer.
- 1000BASE-LX / T
- IPv4 + IPv6
- Route server sessions
The most common port for growing access networks and content.
- 10GBASE-LR
- LACP bundles up to 4×10G
- Traffic graphs per port
For content, CDN and carriers moving serious volume.
- 100GBASE-LR4
- Private VLANs on the same port
- Priority NOC support
Available at core hubs on request.
- 400GBASE-LR4/FR4
- Capacity planning with our team
- Diverse paths
Route servers that filter for you
Peer with everyone through two BGP sessions. Our route servers apply the filtering that most networks would like to do themselves.
RPKI-invalid routes are dropped before they reach your session.
Prefixes need a matching route object; bogon prefixes and private ASNs never pass.
Choose who receives your routes, prepend selectively or announce to no one with standard BGP communities.
Two route servers per exchange, in separate racks, so maintenance never takes your peering down.
Dual-stack peering LAN with sessions for both families from day one.
Check what you are announcing and receiving from the public looking glass.
From request to first route
- Tell us your city
Share your ASN, port speed and preferred exchange point.
- Sign & get assigned
We assign peering LAN addresses and a port on the switch.
- Cross-connect
Your fibre reaches our port at the facility, or we arrange transport.
- Bring up BGP
Sessions to route servers and bilateral peers. Traffic starts flowing.

1G, 10G, 100G and 400G ports on a layer-2 peering LAN with IPv4 and IPv6 addressing.
Multilateral peering through two BGP sessions, with filtering done for you.
Route servers drop invalid, unregistered and bogon announcements before they reach members.
Carve a private, point-to-point VLAN to a partner on the same physical port.
Per-port traffic graphs and sFlow-based insights for capacity planning.
Exchange points in metros and tier-2 cities so traffic can stay in the region where it starts.
Why a distributed exchange
India’s internet has historically funnelled traffic towards a handful of coastal metros. A user in a tier-2 city often reaches content that is physically nearby only after a long round trip through another region. Peer1IX is changing that by placing exchange points where users, access networks and content actually meet — and by 2030 we plan to operate 1,200 exchange points across 150 cities in Bharat.
How peering works on Peer1IX
You connect a router port to our exchange switch, receive addresses on the peering LAN, and bring up BGP sessions — with our route servers for multilateral peering, and with individual networks for bilateral peering. Traffic you exchange this way does not touch your paid upstream links.
Built for routing safety
Every route server applies RPKI origin validation, IRR prefix filtering and bogon filtering. We follow MANRS-aligned operational practice, so the routes you receive at Peer1IX are cleaner than what many networks see from their transit.
Peering questions
Who can peer at Peer1IX?
Any organisation with its own Autonomous System Number (ASN) and publicly routable IP space — ISPs, content networks, CDNs, cloud and hosting providers, enterprises and government networks.
Do I have to peer with everyone?
No. Using the route servers is recommended but optional, and you can choose with whom you peer bilaterally. BGP communities let you restrict who receives your routes.
What filtering do the route servers apply?
RPKI origin validation (invalid routes are dropped), IRR-based prefix filtering, bogon prefix and bogon ASN filtering, and maximum-prefix limits per session.
How long does activation take?
Once the cross-connect is in place, a port is typically configured within a few business days. Our team will share timelines for your specific location.
Do you sell IP transit?
Peer1IX is a neutral exchange. We focus on interconnection so that members can exchange traffic directly with each other.
