Peering
Public & private peering on Swiss infrastructure — IX, PNI and cross-connect ready
Exchange traffic directly with partners and content networks. Settlement-free or paid peering, dual-stack BGP sessions and colo cross-connects engineered for latency-sensitive platforms.
- Public IX & private PNI
- Dual-stack BGP
- Swiss DC cross-connects
Lower latencyKeep hot traffic on short local paths instead of hairpinning via distant transit.
Cost controlOffload peerable volume from paid transit where settlement-free makes sense.
Policy controlCommunities, filters and session design aligned with your ASN strategy.
Colo synergyPair peering with Boxis colocation and on-site hands & eyes.
Peering models
Peering offers
Indicative packages for planning. Final design depends on IX membership, port speed, VLAN / cross-connect and traffic ratio — we quote per interconnection.
Private PNI
1–10 Gbit/s · private interconnect
On quote
Dedicated link to a strategic peer or content network
- Cross-connect or dark-fibre edge
- Bilateral BGP policy
- Traffic-ratio options
- SLA & monitoring pack
Multi-IX / Custom
10 Gbit/s+ · multi-site engineering
On quote
Carriers, CDN edges and high-volume platforms
- Multiple IX / DC footprints
- LAG and diverse paths
- Peering + transit mix design
- Dedicated account engineering
Need full-table upstream as well? Pair Peering with IP Transit / BGP for a complete edge design. See IP Transit →

FAQ
Peering questions
Do I need my own ASN?
Yes for standard public/private peering. We help validate IRR/RPKI hygiene before go-live.
Peering vs IP Transit?
Peering exchanges traffic with selected networks. IP Transit provides full Internet reachability. Most operators combine both.
Can you arrange the cross-connect?
Yes — LOA, MMRs and remote hands in Boxis colocation and partner Swiss DCs.
Settlement-free or paid?
Both models are possible depending on traffic ratio and peer policy. Sales will recommend the right structure.
