Dear SpeedIX Member,
We are pleased to share the exciting news of our new Point of Presence (PoP) at the Bytesnet Rotterdam data center! We want to thank our partner Nextpertise who helped, together with the entire Speed-IX team, to make this possible. This development enhances our network capabilities, offering increased interconnection opportunities for our members.
With the introduction of this PoP, networks located at Bytesnet Rotterdam can now effortlessly connect to SpeedIX and take advantage of several benefits, including high-performance, low-latency peering, direct access to our expanding network community, and a complimentary first 10G port.
We invite you to share this opportunity with your colleagues or partners at Bytesnet Rotterdam and encourage them to become part of the SpeedIX network. Additionally, if your network is located at that point of presence, please do not hesitate to request an additional port there.
To connect to Speed-IX in Bytesnet Rotterdam, you can easily fill out our Join form: https://speed-ix.net/join/

Exciting News from SpeedIX!
We are thrilled to announce that SpeedIX has expanded its network in Germany with a brand new Point of Presence (PoP) at Equinix in Frankfurt am Main! SpeedIX is now available for new customer connections at Equinix FR5, FR7, and other Equinix locations in Frankfurt. This milestone is significant for us as it marks our first PoP outside of the Netherlands.
This strategic expansion will enhance our network reach, improve connectivity, and provide greater access for our members. We remain committed to delivering high-performance internet exchange services, and this new PoP marks another step forward in that direction.
We invite you to celebrate this achievement with us as we continue to grow and enhance the SpeedIX network. Have a great peering!
Best regards, SpeedIX NOC Team
Dear SpeedIX members,
Community-based filtering serves as the standard mechanism enabling route server participants at an Internet Exchange Point (IXP) to manage their routing policies. Since its inception in 2017, SpeedIX has supported this industry standard (https://speed-ix.net/bgp-community-filtering/).
This filtering mechanism is crucial for enhancing participation with route servers, as members effectively delegate their routing policies to the IXP. Many members may find it uncomfortable or impractical to do so without these fundamental controls in place.
The latest update to SpeedIX Manager introduces a new feature that empowers IXP members to configure route server filtering through a web-based user interface. This feature can be accessed in the SpeedIX portal under "Peering" -> "Route Server Filtering."
This enhancement shifts the complexity of configuration from the member and their router to the route servers of the IXP. The fundamental filtering mechanism remains unchanged; however, the location of its execution has been modified:
- The route server will now apply community tags to the member's routes upon ingress, rather than the member applying them on egress.
- Conversely, the route server will filter the routes to be advertised to the member on egress, instead of the member managing this on ingress.
We believe this solution should work for at least 90% of the cases. If your routing policies are more complex, it's a good idea to keep managing those on your own routers.
Have a nice peering!
Sincerely,
SpeedIX NOC Team <noc(a)speed-ix.net>

Dear SpeedIX members,
By this email, we inform you that the planned maintenance of the SpeedIX Route Server #1 has been finished successfully.
The SpeedIX RS2 is up and running now. If you have disabled sessions with Route Server #1 before maintenance you can enable it back.
If you have any issue with establishing BGP sessions to Route Server #1 please contact us at <noc(a)speed-ix.net>
Thanks and kind regards,
SpeedIX NOC Team <noc(a)speed-ix.net>

Dear SpeedIX members,
By this email, we inform you that we have planned maintenance of the SpeedIX Route Server #1.
Start Date / Time: 31-07-2023, 10:00 CEST (Amsterdam)
End Date / Time: 31-07-2023, 11:00 CEST (Amsterdam)
Duration: 1 hour
Reason: Software upgrade of the Route Server #1
During the maintenance window, Route Server #1 will be rebooted and BGP sessions will go down.
The maintenance will not affect Route Server #2, so your connection to the SpeedIX platform will not be affected if you have established BGP sessions with both route servers.
So please check if you have BGP sessions (IPv4/6) established with both SpeedIX route servers.
Please note that this maintenance cannot be rescheduled.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Thanks and kind regards,

Hello Sergey,
At this moment we ( Critical Core / AS49033 ) are connected via DCSPINE on the SpeedIX network and would like to migrate that connection from DCSPINE to a direct connection on Nikhef.
Can you please assist us with this?
My collegue Diego Klinkhamer ( in CC ) is in charge of this project.
Kind Regards,
Arjan Kunstman

Dear Speed-IX member,
I want to thank you for your continuous support and your contribution to the Speed-IX internet exchange.
With this email, I will inform you about a large number of changes and improvements that have been made for the Speed-IX network in the past weeks. We worked hard to upgrade network capacity and improve stability so we can keep adding new members in the upcoming years. Although my team made a large number of changes, the main improvements are:
- Four of our main Speed-IX PoPs at Nikhef, GlobalSwitch, Serverius DC1, and Serverius DC2 were upgraded with brand new 100G switches. Those switches are in use for backbone interconnections and new members with 100G ports.
- A new PoP in the Equinix AM7 has been launched and is ready for the new members.
- In another rack at Nikhef, a second PoP is created and is ready for new members. The current one was completely filled by switches and fibers.
- All Speed-IX backbone interconnections were upgraded from different bunches of 10G links to multiple 100G tunks. It's done which our new ADVA Teraflex muxponders which does for us 6x100G channels in every single DWDM channel. Now all Speed-IX PoP are redundantly connected by it.
- Regretfully with should inform you that during these WDM changes we got two short-time network interruptions. The first time it was at 15:25 of 24.09.2020 and the second time at 19:35 of 29.09.2020.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.
At this moment all potential service-affected maintenances are finished and therefore no network interruptions are expected.
Please enable your BGP sessions with Router servers if you disabled it during the problems.
For your information, in our route map for improving Speed-IX are:
- Updates the client's portal to a new major release with a new design and new functions.
- Updating our router servers from Bird 1.6.3 to 2.0.7
- RPKI implementation at both route servers in addition to current IRR filtering
- enabling sFlow collectors for providing you with statistics about most common peers and established private BGP sessions.
Stay tuned, be healthy, and ask your friends to support the free SpeedIX peering community.
Yours sincerely,
Sergey Petukhin.
