Overview
A single membership to the London Internet Exchange (LINX) provides you the fastest and simplest way to take control of your network traffic and establish low-latency connections with more than 950 global members.
Peering refers to the interconnection of two or more networks to exchange traffic directly, without relying on intermediary transit providers. This direct exchange improves performance, reduces latency, lowers costs, and enhances network resilience. Connecting to an Internet Exchange allows you to establish peering with hundreds of other networks across a single physical port. Members can set up or remove bilateral peering sessions with networks without the need to reprovision circuits or order additional cross connects.
