The Vienna Internet eXchange (VIX) is a redundant, dual-site, high-performance, high-availability Internet Exchange Point (IXP) with national and international participants from the Central and Eastern European Region.
A big kick for the IPv6 traffic handled at VIX was the join of Hurricane Electrics (AS6939) on September 19th 2012, shown in our statistics.
Akamai International B.V. is the first VIX participant with an overall connection capacity of 80 Gbit/s.
On the occasion of its 15th anniversary VIX sponsored the RIPE63 Meeting in Vienna. A RIPE Meeting is a five-day event where Internet service providers, network operators and other interested parties from Europe and the surrounding regions gather.

The CEE Peering Day 2013 is jointly hosted by the Internet Exchange Points NIX.CZ and VIX.at for network engineers and peering coordinators of Internet Service Providers, Cloud and Content Providers and Data Center operators in the Central and Eastern European Region. The agenda is complemented by partner's exhibitions and enough time and space for social networking and "peering". The evening programme is including a dinner and a lot of entertainment and surprises.
The Vienna Internet eXchange offers a redundant set of route servers, which eases peering configuration. The route servers just provide routing information, payload traffic is exchanged directly between the participants. After establishing a BGP session to both route servers and activating them in the web interface, participants may configure default behavior individually and specific per-peer settings using a pleasant web interface for both, IPv4 and IPv6 peerings.
If configured accordingly, traffic will be exchanged automatically also with new participants who have selected an open peering behavior.
The Vienna Internet eXchange is founder member of the European Internet Exchange Association http://www.euro-ix.net/. Euro-IX has been set up by Europe's leading Internet exchange points, which connect the networks of Internet service providers (ISPs) to permit the exchange of Internet traffic.
