Why connect to NL-ix in Dublin?

By joining NL-ix in Dublin, you gain redundant connections across Western Europe without limiting you to specific destinations.

International Peering Platform

For networks from Dublin it is sometimes hard to get quality access to content their end-users want. Solving this issue usually entails the costly extensions to Europe and connect to one or more Internet Exchanges.

Our proposition offers a simpler alternative.
The distributed character of the NL-ix platform makes this content available at the very edge of Europe in Dublin. NL-ix acts as an extension of your network, already facilitating connections across Western Europe, making expansion more straightforward and cost-effective.

All it takes is a single port to gain access to the content your end-users want, cutting out the need for multiple ports with IX's and Transport costs to and from these exchanges. In case of disruptions, our full meshed network automatically reroutes traffic, ensuring consistent connectivity.

Benefit of distributed NL-ix network

What sets the NL-ix Internet Exchange apart is the operation of an international Peering network. While traditional Internet Exchanges confine operations to metro areas like Amsterdam, Frankfurt, or London, NL-ix takes a novel approach.

The NL-ix approach avoids centralising traffic, resulting in lower latency as network traffic can flow directly between locations.
