Remote peering

France-IX's remote peering service allows you to extend your presence across multiple regions via a redundant infrastructure.

Access France-IX customers in other regions using your existing port and an additional VLAN, while benefiting from the same security and performance as your local peering. This flexible solution optimizes your connections while reducing infrastructure costs.

France at your fingertips

This service is added to the local peering service on the same port, subject to sufficient physical capacity of the port.

How to set up your remote peering

All regions (Lille, Lyon/Grenoble, Marseille, Paris, Toulouse) are interconnected via redundant waves. This means that from any one region, you can access the other France-IX regions using the Remote Peering service. A VLAN is configured on your local port to access the desired remote region.

For each additional remote region, an extra VLAN is configured. For example, if a client is physically connected to France-IX in Lille and wants to reach clients connected in Marseille, an additional VLAN is configured on their port to remotely access the Marseille peering LAN. This allows them to establish peering sessions with other clients locally connected in Marseille.

FAQs

Local peering connects you to members in the same region (same physical Point of Presence). Remote Peering allows you to access members in other France-IX regions (Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Paris, Toulouse) from your single connection port, via additional VLANs. The two services are complementary.

You can add up to 5 remote regions (Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Paris, Toulouse) to your existing connection. Each region requires the configuration of a dedicated VLAN on your port. There is no limit to the number of regions you can access simultaneously.

No. Remote peering requires no additional physical equipment on your end. Setup is done entirely through software configuration (adding VLANs to your existing port). This is one of the service's key advantages: geographic expansion with no hardware cost and no on-site intervention.

To access Remote Peering, you must already have an active connection port at one of the France-IX Points of Presence. If that is not yet the case, start with the Local Peering service. Once connected, Remote Peering activation is done on request to our sales team.
