Primary Domain

Peering and Transit

Within the Primary Domain facet, Peering and Transit intelligence groups reporting by primary domain so readers can follow a focused area of internet infrastructure, governance, connectivity markets, or digital capital. The page brings together related articles, public evidence, institutions, companies, people, regional exposure, operating dependencies, and market context that may otherwise sit across separate category pages. It explains the domain, the likely actor class, the market or governance context, and the source material readers should use when comparing signals. Operators, analysts, and governance readers can see how the same domain appears across events, profiles, market shifts, public-source evidence, regional dependencies, and longer-cycle infrastructure decisions over time.

A cold data hall in close-up: a matte sheet of paper on a brushed metal ledge bearing only evenly ruled blank horizontal bars of varying length; behind it an open dark rack with an aggregation switch, laced teal and amber fibre patch cords and faint link LEDs, the rack's far end dissolved behind a pane of frosted glass.

Two Labels, One Exchange: 'Very Small' at APNIC, 'Largest' in Singapore

The same company appears in APNIC's public member directory as a very small member and on its own front page as Singapore's largest not-for-profit internet exchange. The two statements count different populations, and neither of the pages retained for this reading states how much…

Seventeen Sites Is a Footprint, Not a Failure-Domain Count: LINX's Rebuilt London Fabric

Retained trade coverage from March 2026 describes the London Internet Exchange's secondary London platform as a seventeen-site fabric, replaced after nearly twenty-five years in service. Seventeen facilities bound one class of failure and leave another untouched. The record that…

A minimal diagram on deep navy in two separated bands. Below, four solid brushed-metal rectangular blocks stand on one baseline as an ascending staircase, each taller and wider than the one to its left, each with a small blue indicator bar near its top edge and the tallest block brightest. Above, after a wide empty strip of dark navy, a single thin white line rises and falls across a faintly ruled timeline. Nothing connects the curve to any block.

SwissIX prices every port step and publishes no port's load

Between 22:41 and 22:42 UTC on 18 October 2026, four pages on the SwissIX website were captured and read: the homepage, the traffic statistics page, the entities page and the peering page. Together they hold a complete monthly price menu for port capacity and a set of four…

Abstract technical diagram: a stack of small rectangular port blocks on a switch-plane at left, a large translucent counter frame above it holding the numeral 903, and one port block drawn as an unfilled dashed amber outline to indicate an undefined counting unit; at right, sparse distant node clusters linked to the left-hand plane only by long faint dashed paths that bend through unlabelled intermediate junction marks.

903 Connected Networks, Undefined: What AMS-IX's Headline Number Does Not Say

On 18 October 2026 the Amsterdam Internet Exchange displayed one number for its own size. The retained text around that number does not define what it counts — and in an interconnection market where the count is quoted in sales decks, procurement memos and site-selection…

An overhead technical still life on a dark matte surface: eight small brushed-metal datacenter markers sit on a faint etched map outline, joined by thin glowing fibre lines. Three markers are clustered tightly in one corner and drawn larger, ringed with a cool white halo and linked by three heavy bright connections. At the near edge a plain brushed-steel access panel with one recessed keycard slot and an unlit indicator stands in front of a blank, matte region of the diagram where capacity bars and a traffic curve would otherwise be drawn. No lettering, numbers or logos appear anywhere in the frame.

SwissIX publishes the fabric, not the load across it

SwissIX states that it is present in eight datacenters across Switzerland and that it offers 400G ports at three named core sites. Nothing in its public record says how much of its capacity sits in each of those eight places — and that division, not the count, is what a…

HKIX has the traffic. Does it have the connection you need?

A busy exchange is reassuring. But its traffic graph cannot tell a network buyer whether the right counterpart is reachable on the right terms.

The Philippine Open Internet Exchange: Policy First, Peering Second

A government science institute has operated the Philippines' flagship neutral internet exchange since 2007, and a 2013 administrative order pushed state traffic through it. The September 2026 membership snapshot shows what that combination actually built — and where the model…

Local Delivery Is Not an Upstream Capacity Discount

A new operator account puts most of one Google portal's delivery on embedded equipment. The capacity decision still depends on what enters that equipment—and what happens without it.
