Remote Peering


Remote peering via next layer enables a direct, stable and low-latency connection to central internet exchange points such as VIX – without the need for your own hardware on site. IP traffic is efficiently transmitted via layer 2, which facilitates direct exchange with other networks. The partnership with VIX provides access to numerous peering partners and large CDN providers such as Google, Amazon and Netflix. The connection is made along secure and high-performance routes, without the need for your own personnel or equipment on site.
