What is peering?
Peering lets IP networks exchange traffic directly to cut latency, reduce transit costs, and remove the middlemen.
Examples of our peers:
- Internet Service Providers (ISPs) – retail and wholesale
- Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)
- Cloud and hosting providers
- Carriers and telecommunications companies
- Government departments and agencies
- Universities and research networks
- Managed Service Providers (MSPs)
- Content and streaming platforms
- Enterprise networks with significant inter-site or customer-facing traffic applications
3 MONTH FREE TRIAL
Your first 10Gbps port is FREE on each of IAA’s paid exchanges for the first 12-months. Available to Corporate Members, for first-time connections per exchange.
Virtual peering
Want to offer peering to your customers? If you provide connectivity services, Virtual Peering lets you on-sell access to the IX Australia peering fabric to your downstream customers without them needing their own physical port.
Want to peer but don’t have a physical port? Ask your existing network provider whether they offer Virtual Peering.
Propose a Point of Presence (PoP)
Got a location in mind for a new Point of Presence (PoP)? At IAA, we’re always open to proposals from peers, suppliers, and data centres looking to improve connectivity for the benefit of all.
Help us expand our footprint to better serve your region and the wider network community. Propose a PoP and let’s explore the possibilities together.
