AMS-IX: Connecting ISPs and Innovating Internet Exchange in Amsterdam

AMS-IX is one of the oldest and largest Internet Exchanges in Europe, based in Amsterdam. As an association under Dutch law, it connects a diverse range of member ISPs, facilitating collaboration and the exchange of internet traffic. The infrastructure includes two key locations in Amsterdam, robust switching hardware, and numerous private interconnects. To connect, ISPs choose a co-location facility, complete necessary contracts, and initiate peerings. AMS-IX also engages in exciting experiments in areas like multicast, IPv6, and advanced Ethernet connections. For more details, visit http://www.ams-ix.net/.
