NIX Infrastructure

All NIX IXPs are built on a layer 2 network. NIX1 is distributed to three independent locations in Oslo: Gaustadallen 23B, HMG9 and Digiplex Ulvenveien 89. HMG9 and Digiplex Ulvenveien 89 are directly connected with fiber connections to Gaustadallen 23B. Our remaining IXPs have no interconnection between them, making them an isolated IXP.

The NIX IXPs consist of the following hardware:
