France-IX becomes the only neutral French IXP operating two fully independent peering platforms. Peering Essentiel runs alongside Peering Plus: distinct hardware, distinct OS, zero shared network component.

fully independent peering platforms
1G to 400G
across 5 capacity tiers
24h
to get connected (cross-connect aside)

Peering Essentiel in a nutshell:

  • 100% self-service: public pricing, online ordering via the France-IX portal, connected within 24h (cross-connect aside);
  • 5 capacity tiers, from 1G to 400G;
  • no commitment: 3-month notice, instant upgrades and downgrades;
  • hosted at Telehouse Paris 2, at the heart of the French Internet;
  • all of France-IX’s expertise, RPKI ROV route servers with IRR filtering, 24/7 support included.

Why does it matter? Platform diversity strengthens the resilience of Internet interconnection in France, and keeps local traffic local.

Pioneer offer for the first 50 customers (44 spots remaining when this was published): activation fees waived, and no recurring port fees as long as the Essentiel LAN stays below 100 Gbps, guaranteed at least until the end of September 2026. Telehouse waives recurring cross-connect fees until the end of the year.
