What is OceanIX

OceanIX is a small non-for-profit Oceanic Internet Exchange Point (IXP) aimed to provide a zero cost point for users hodling public resources to experiment with BGP and Routing, as well as Transit Providers (if possible). Starting in early 2021, aimed at all key locations in the Oceanic area (AU and NZ).

We openly encorage all members of our Internet Exchange Points to peer with one another.

Initially, We are only offering IPv6 based IX Services, while we secure sponsorship and resources for use with the IX. as well as experimentation with our own Docker based control systems for our IXPs.

Sponsors that have provided us with resources such as Colocation, Dedicated servers and/or VPS Services, can provide Local "On-Net" connection to the Internet Exchange, otherwise Tunnel based services can be utilized to connect to OceanIX at various POPs in Oceania.
