The Telx Internet ExchangeSM (TIE) allows ISPs, Content and Gaming Providers, Enterprises and others to quickly and easily exchange IP traffic. The Telx Internet Exchange is a neutral, privately-owned and managed Internet Exchange Point or “IXP”.

 

IXP’s facilitate members of the exchange to establish peering relationships with other members across a common switching platform. Once peering relationships have been established members may share traffic on without incurring additional IP transit charges, providing a cost effective way to move data between networks

 

By deploying in a Telx data center, customers are one connection away from hundreds of major telecom and data networks on a single highly available service platform. TIE participants can route IP traffic efficiently providing faster, more reliable and lower-latency internet or VoIP access to their customers. By connecting to TIE customers are able to reduce operational costs, improve network performance, and add another layer of network resilience. In addition, Telx offers members not only a world class exchange platform, but also a forum to discuss new ideas and planning for a better Internet.

 

With TIE, customers can connect and peer at speeds ranging from 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) to multiples of 10 Gbps. For convenience, standard reporting tools allow TIE members to monitor performance and traffic metrics.

 

Customers can establish a connection to TIE in the time it takes to install a cross connect, typically less than 48 hours. To take advantage of the Telx Internet Exchange customers in one of our Telx C3 (Cloud Connection Centers)SM are require to have an Autonomous System Number (ASN) and the expertise to manage Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) sessions across a network.
