Let IPv4 rest in peace. 🪦

The future of IXPs is IPv6-only. The technical foundation? RFC8950.

But standards don't deploy themselves. A huge congratulations to the RFC8950 Working Group at #EUROIX for turning theory into reality!

They tackled the real-world tests, pushed router vendors to implement support, and leveled up open-source tools like Alice-LG to make it happen at the infrastructure level.

Task accomplished. The internet just got a massive upgrade. Well done! 🥂

3 Eras? Let's make it 4. 📈

Fantastic panel at #euroix43 moderated by Greg from @Nokia on the evolution of IXPs. He perfectly framed the last few years into three eras. I’d love to add the current state of play as the fourth pillar: NaaS.

Today, it's not just about connectivity; it's about how you consume it.
* APIs & Automation
* Self-service portals
* Flexible pricing
* Additional Interconnection services

A truly insightful session on what customers are demanding right now!

Networks will connect differently in the future, using something called "IPv6-only Peering LANs" (this is a technical standard, RFC8950). We set up a LAN party to see how ready different tech companies are for this. The results show that some companies need to improve their support. #peeringfamily #euroix

Speed is always important! The newest version of the BIRD route server software (version 3.1) is here, and it performs very well. It can easily manage connections with 2000 or more other networks (often called peers). This is particularly good news for @decix biggest Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). @decix Frankfurt connects over 1000 members and are growing rapidly (by 20%!), so this improved capacity really matters. Great work, Maria (@cz_nic)! #euroix

Jó reggelt from Budapest where our very own Eileen Gallagher is opening the IX Association’s 41st forum in her capacity as a member of the #euroix Board.

Vi ricordate il #fairshare, cioè il dibattito secondo cui certi operatori Internet dovrebbero pagare per il passaggio dei loro servizi sulle reti di telecomunicazioni europee? #Euroix, l'associazione europea degli Internet Exchange, ha scritto alla Commissione europea dicendo che si tratta di una proposta sbagliata e pericolosa https://www.euro-ix.net/media/filer_public/1a/e4/1ae40d86-95ea-460a-920d-3b335c2439d4/spnp_impact_on_ixps_-_final.pdf
