What is KCIX?
KCIX is a switching fabric located in the Midwest, where a network may connect and peer. This puts them closer to content caching while also improving local network connectivity.
Bilateral peering
Establish direct peering with other KCIX members over the exchange at no charge.
Multilateral peering
Peer with our route server to exchange routes with many neighbors at once.
Private VLAN
Private VLANs are available for those requiring a private network with another KCIX member.
Remote peering
KCIX is directly connected to other IXPs. This enables us to offer remote peering services to them.
Why peer on KCIX?
There are a number of ways a network can benefit from a local Internet exchange point. Your network could have lower latency, lower costs and increased capacity to the networks it needs.
Free peering
We are proud to be one of the few IXPs in the nation that charge no monthly port fees.
We're growing
KCIX is continually adding new members. The value of the IX continues to grow as each new member joins.
Local support
KCIX was started by local networks working to improve connectivity in the area. We have continued to grow thanks to our local supporters!
