IXP.NETWORK is a Virtual Internet Exchange Point (Virtual IXP), operated by cr0bar Limited. Our autonomous system number (ASN) is AS56758.
Virtual Internet Exchange Points are innovative digital platforms that facilitate the exchange of internet traffic between different networks in a virtualised environment. Unlike traditional Internet Exchange Points, which require physical infrastructure for connectivity, Virtual IXPs leverage cloud technology to provide a more flexible and scalable solution.
Virtual IXPs enable internet service providers (ISPs), content delivery networks (CDNs), and other network entities to interconnect remotely without the need for physical presence at a common location. This virtual approach significantly reduces the overhead costs associated with setup and maintenance of exchange points and allows for rapid scaling as network demands evolve.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via our Support Portal.
