Connection to AMS-IX

Starting from 2010, NaMeX and AMS-IX, the largest IXP in Europe, have signed a mutual agreement including, among other things, a partnership program that enables NaMeX members to connect to AMS-IX without affording the high costs of a dedicated transport to Amsterdam.

By means of high capacity links connecting NaMeX and AMS-IX switching platforms, NaMeX members are allowed to directly peer with AMS-IX members at an affordable cost. As an AMS-IX partner, NaMeX can take care of all the administrative burden implied by affiliation to AMS-IX, so that NaMeX members can keep dealing only with NaMeX while being, at the same time, full members of the Amsterdam Internet Exchange.

Peering at AMS-IX means having direct access to the largest european and international networks, by setting up a single BGP session with AMS-IX route servers, NaMeX members will be able to receive routes from more than 300 peers (among which, major international content providers such as Facebook and Yahoo!).
