Affects: Peering partners over DE-CIX and LINX

Final Notice: Departure from DE-CIX and LINX Internet Exchanges


Dear Valued Peers and Partners,



As part of our commitment to delivering a high-quality, globally interconnected network,
we are concluding our participation in the DE-CIX and LINX internet exchanges.
This decision aligns with our strategy to optimize connectivity, expand network diversity, and ensure the best possible performance for our customers.



Over the past 12 months, we initiated a phased process to remove peering on these exchanges
and have communicated with peers to migrate to alternative arrangements.
For peers who have not yet responded or transitioned, we will cease all peering over DE-CIX and LINX in the upcoming week.


Our Commitment to Quality and Growth


We remain highly diligent in expanding and improving our network. Our focus includes:



  • Enhancing network diversity by continually evolving our strategy and partnerships with transit providers.

  • Prioritizing geographic redundancy and connectivity to ensure our customers benefit from a stable, high-performance network.

  • Actively engaging with peers and partners to foster a collaborative, well-distributed internet ecosystem.


Moving Forward



- We are available for peering via other exchanges such as NL-ix, AMS-ix, ERA-ix, and BBIX.

- We welcome peering requests according to our peering policy at PeeringDB and are happy to explore connections in any of our PoP locations.



If you wish to peer with us or discuss alternative arrangements, please contact us at
noc@nforce.com.
We are eager to collaborate with partners who share our vision of building a stronger, more interconnected internet.



Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we continue to enhance the quality of our network and connectivity.


Best regards,


NOC Team
