The
London Internet Exchange (LINX), a primary hub for UK, European and world ISPs, has connected its 300th member, becoming the first Internet exchange point in the world ever to connect so many networks together. LINX has added 50 new members, representing a 19% increase in membership, over just eleven months:
John Souter, LINX Chief Executive Officer said: "
In addition to the major UK and global ISPs, the LINX membership includes e-commerce and DNS specialists plus content delivery and research and education networks. This makes LINX a compelling place for international peering. Our latest members broaden this still further with VoIP, IPTV and gaming services becoming more popular."
LINX also boasts an impressive set of technical statistics, with over 600 member Ethernet ports connected, 140 of which run at the fastest possible rate of 10GigE.
