The service is designed to facilitate the interconnection between all members across Layer 2 access technology/Deligh VPS/Layer 2 Tunnel. It allows multiple carriers to interconnect through a physical port or tunnel and exchange Internet peering traffic – both IPv4 and IPv6. Peering is implemented in a common public VLAN by establishing one BGP session with the BFD-IX Route Servers.
