Our Services
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.
