TELEHOUSE & the London Internet Exchange Forge Transatlantic Deal Linking Three Leading Internet Exchanges
1 January 2006 Three of the world's most influential Internet
exchanges are to co-operate on a program to improve international Internet
operations -- leading to potential benefits for ISPs and their customers
across the globe.
TELEHOUSE America, which operates The New York Internet Exchange (NYIIX)
and The Los Angeles Internet Exchange (LAIIX), and is the leading provider
of collocation facilities, and The London Internet Exchange (LINX) have
signed an agreement under which they will work jointly to promote
connections between their members and customers.
Internet exchanges enable ISPs and content delivery providers to exchange
traffic between their networks. The process -- known as 'peering' -- allows
customers of one exchange member to send and receive data from customers of
other members.
NYIIX is operated by TELEHOUSE out of its BROADWAY Center at 25 Broadway
("25B") in Manhattan, New York. NYIIX (www.NYIIX.net) is the largest
neutral Internet exchange point in the metro New York region and one of the
largest in the US. Its peak traffic volume current runs at 16Gbps.
TELEHOUSE operates LAIIX out of its LOS ANGELES Center at 626 Wilshire
Blvd. ("626W") in downtown Los Angeles. LAIIX (www.LAIIX.net) also is
directly connected via dark fiber to LA's 1 Wilshire Boulevard carrier
hotel. Peak traffic at the exchange is around 1 Gbit/sec.

LINX is one of the largest and best-connected Internet exchanges in the
world. It handles in excess of 100 Gbit/sec of traffic at peak times and
provides ISPs with direct access to around half the world's Internet
routes.
LINX sales and marketing manager Vanessa Evans said: "The agreement with
TELEHOUSE allows members of LINX, LAIIX and NYIIX -- as well as customers
at other TELEHOUSE facilities in the USA -- to take advantage of new
peering opportunities and grow their global networks."
Michael Vallone, head of marketing at TELEHOUSE America, said: "By working
together with our customers and members we can strengthen international
networks, reducing costs and increasing network resilience for Internet
users on both sides of the Atlantic."
"We will be exploring various ways in which we can use the relationship
between LINX and TELEHOUSE to facilitate the growth of the three exchanges
by providing additional value to our members."

About the London Internet Exchange - LINX
LINX is the world's largest Internet exchange point (IXP). It is a mutual,
not-for-profit organisation whose members include almost all the major UK
Internet service providers and content delivery service providers, plus
many from the USA, mainland Europe, the Far East and Africa. The LINX
infrastructure allows members rapidly and cost-effectively to exchange data
between their networks. More than half of the world's Internet routes are
accessible from LINX, which currently handles more than 90 per cent of UK
Internet traffic. Peak traffic flows at LINX are more than 100 gigabits of
data per second. One gigabit is 1,000 million bits of data. While Internet
traffic consists of a wide variety of data (such as website downloads and
business data), one gigabit is roughly equivalent to 60,000 average e-mail
messages. The connection of ISPs' networks at an exchange point such as
LINX is known as peering. For more information, go to http://www.linx.net
