NL-ix now introduces its Metro MPLS VLL (Virtual Leased Line) transport service between initially its largest datacenters, adding support at more datacenters in the coming months.

A Metro MPLS VLL is path resilient and fully transparant (for dot1.q, MAC's, jumbo frames, etc.), proactively managed and monitored, has a very short delivery time, is extremely cost-efficient, delivered at grey short haul interfaces and available between all NL-ix datacenters at 1 Gbit/s or optionally 10 Gbit/s.

With 270 members, local presence at 40 local datacenters throughout the Netherlands and a #5 global position, the NL-ix Internet Exchange has rapidly developed into a major hub for both National and International peering traffic.

NL-ix offers more unique members (not to be found elsewhere) then any other IX in the world (only second to the MSK-IX). A large and unique membership is attractive for both Public and Private peering and a unique neutral marketplace for community specific traffic exchange.

*NL-ix is the #5 IX in the world in terms of #connected, source: PCH, Euro-IX, Wikipedia

AMS-IX and NL-ix have joined forces on nation-wide peering coverage. NL-ix now offers direct access to the AMS-IX Public Peering infrastructure (VLAN) over existing and new NL-ix Public Peering ports in any NL-ix datacenter. The portfolio includes 100 Mbit/s access, which AMS-IX does not offer directly anymore.

Participants will be regular AMS-IX members with full access to the member website, mailing list, meetings, etc. NL-ix however, will be the contractual, technical and financial interface.

The global pool of IPv4 IP addresses is now, well, officially per Thursday February 3, 2011, exhausted.
