Telehouse NYIIX traffic volume exceeds 200 Gbps

US data centre operator Telehouse America's public peering interconnection point, New York International Internet Exchange (NYIIX), has exceeded the 200 Gbps maximum traffic volume threshold. In April, Telehouse announced it had reached the 100 gigabit milestone, which meant traffic had doubled in less than eighteen months. Now it has doubled again in less than a year. Currently, NYIIX is the public internet exchange in the New York Metro Market. NYIIX has become the most popular neutral exchange point in New York, consisting of 146 active peering members from all over the world. With plans to invest in redundant infrastructure and expand access in other local carrier hotels, NYIIX provides 1 G and 10 G connections at 111 8th Avenue, Telehouse New York Broadway, Telehouse New York Teleport on Staten Island, and Telehouse New York Chelsea located at 85 10th Avenue and 60 Hudson Street. NYIIX offers public peering as well as private peering over VLAN. This enables independent networks to exchange internet traffic to complement and supplement public or paid bandwidth networks. By peering with Telehouse, customers interconnect over a layer-2 switch to many ISPs, content and application providers. The NYIIX platform is regularly updated in order to accommodate new trends and technology requirements. Telehouse is looking forward to announcing new updates in the first quarter of 2012.
