BETTER PEERING STARTS HERE
The internet works better
when networks work together.
One team. One application. One set of policies. IX.NET operates six exchanges across Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Texas, and brings five more exchange fabrics to Kansas City.

THE SHORTER PATH
Less distance. More direct.
An internet exchange is a shared switch in a data center. Connect once, then exchange traffic directly with the other networks.
See who’s connectedKeep traffic on a direct path
Traffic travels between networks on the exchange, instead of through a third-party transit provider in another city.
Lower latency. Lower transit costs.
Shorter paths mean faster connections. Traffic exchanged here no longer counts against your transit bill.
Your ASN is your starting point
ISPs, hosting and content providers, cloud platforms, universities and enterprises can all join with their own ASN.
03WHERE TO CONNECT
Closer to your network.
Connect wherever your network already is. Every location gets the same ports and route servers.
