CityLan

A CityLan LAN is a dedicated ethernet connection between two datacenter locations in Amsterdam. It can be used by an ISP, for example for easy, fast and cost-effective network expansion. But it can also be used to interconnect between two different parties, for example to buy or sell services. The LAN includes two ports on any NL-ix datacenter and a dedicated LAN between those ports that can burst upto the port speed.
