Hello, In Paris you have Equinix Paris, Sfinx and FranceIX. I'm the co founder of Franceix with 2 other folks, so I know well the subject :) Franceix is a neutral IXP, and based on an association model ( exactly the same model as Amsix ).
Today FranceIX is the biggest one in Paris and is located in all carrier hotel in Paris ( except Equinix ) and also in Marseille. There is some gateway with other IXP : Sfinx, Lyonix and Lucix ( Luxembourg ). Both EquinixFR and Franceix have a partner program and you can connect to both using a third partner ( or of course directly ). You can have more information here : https://www.franceix.net/ or send an email to i...@franceix.net Regards, -- Raphaël Maunier NEO TELECOMS CTO / Directeur Ingénierie AS8218 On 2/21/12 5:53 PM, "Jared Mauch" <ja...@puck.nether.net> wrote: > >On Feb 21, 2012, at 11:46 AM, Ido Szargel wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> We are currently looking to connect to one of the IX's available in >>Paris, >> >> It seems that there are 2 "major" players - FranceIX and Equinix FR, can >> anyone share their opinions about those? > >At my former employer we connected to PARIX and don't recall any issues >there. > >www.parix.net (seems to be down right now). > >- Jared > > > > >
