WHY LINX SCOTLAND

Keep Scottish traffic in Scotland

Peers that matter locally

A strong mix of content providers and access networks at the exchange, giving you immediate access to the peers most relevant to Scottish internet traffic.

Diversely routed

The two sites are connected by diversely routed links between Edinburgh and Glasgow, with automatic fast failover if either link encounters an issue.

Keep traffic local

Scottish traffic stays in Scotland, removing the dependency on routing through London and improving performance for end users.

Lower latency, shorter paths

Direct interconnection in Scotland means fewer hops and shorter paths, so traffic reaches its destination faster without detouring through distant exchange points.

OUR SERVICES

Available at LINX Scotland

Connect directly with hundreds of networks to exchange traffic. Direct interconnection lowers latency, gives you greater control over how traffic flows, and makes it simple to expand as demand grows.

Explore Peering

Separate and manage multiple network connections over a single physical port, keeping private traffic isolated within LINX infrastructure while simplifying how you manage it.

Explore Private VLAN

A private Layer 2 network connecting multiple sites, partners or customers, for controlled traffic exchange within LINX infrastructure.

Explore Closed User Group

Host your infrastructure in professionally managed data centres, with direct access to LINX interconnection services and to the networks and partners already connected there.

Explore Colocation

LINX Protect is free to all members peering via our route servers. It identifies malicious traffic during an attack and drops it before it reaches your infrastructure, using Remotely Triggered Black Hole filtering.
