Internet Peering | irix: The Regional Internet Exchange for Kuching, Sarawak and Borneo

How does Internet Peering Work?

By peering at an exchange, networks can easily improve the performance of their internet network and achieve low latency and cost-effective interconnection.

Internet Peering is used by ISP companies, content providers, enterprises and other parties that seek network optimisation.

Peering

Our Internet Peering service is at the core of what we do. There are many possible routes between two users, but public peering at an Internet Exchange is almost always the shortest route.

1 Gbit/s 'GE' (1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX)
10 Gbit/s '10GE' (10000BaseLR, 10000BaseER)
100Gbit/s '100GE' (100GE-LR4)
Link aggregation of the above
