Peering is a process by which two Internet networks connect and exchange traffic. It allows them to directly hand off traffic between each other’s customers, without having to pay a third party to carry that traffic across the Internet for them. Peering is distinct from transit, the more usual way of connecting to the Internet, in which an end user or network operator pays another, usually larger, network operator to carry all their traffic for them.

An Internet Exchange Point is where Internet networks come together to peer or exchange traffic between their networks. Internet exchange points are not Internet service providers. While they allow network operators to exchange traffic with other network operators, an exchange point will not sell you anything resembling complete Internet connectivity. They are, instead, one of the building blocks around which the Internet is built.

IPTP Networks (AS41095) has joined the Netnod Reach partner program to provide remote peering in Sweden to its many customers from around the globe. As an official Netnod Reach partner, IPTP Networks can engage clients at any point of presence on its network and resell peering ports to Sweden’s leading Internet Exchange.

Here we answer some of the most common questions about peering, IXPs and Netnod IX.

In cooperation with IIS, the Swedish TLD registry, Netnod colocates the Bredbandskollen Service at the Netnod IX.

In addition to the Netnod exchange point services and the DNSNODE services, Netnod offers other Internet related services. We believe in adding value to exchange points by colocating other valuable services and making them available to anyone connected to the exchange.
