Our Services
Peering
Peering is when two or more networks connect directly to exchange internet traffic, making it faster and more efficient, reducing latency, and improving network reliability and speed.
At LINX, members can connect with hundreds of other networks through a trusted, high-performance platform. This direct interconnection improves network performance, enables greater control over traffic flows, and makes it simple to expand connectivity as demand grows.
Private VLAN
Private VLAN lets you securely separate and manage multiple network connections over a single physical port, helping to protect sensitive data and ensure efficient network management.
LINX's Private VLAN service offers a flexible, carrier-neutral platform that allows members to maintain private, isolated connections within the LINX infrastructure.
Closed User Group
Closed User Group enables members to establish a private, secure Layer 2 network connecting multiple sites, partners, or customers, facilitating controlled and efficient traffic exchange.
This service offers enhanced security, simplified management, and flexible scalability, all within LINX's trusted infrastructure.
DDoS Mitigation
LINX Protect is our free dedicated DDoS mitigation service, designed to help keep member networks secure and running smoothly. Available to all members peering via LINX route servers, it works by identifying and blocking malicious traffic during a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.
By using Remotely Triggered Black Hole filtering, it diverts harmful traffic away from your infrastructure, minimising disruption, maintaining service availability, and safeguarding your network.
