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!

Multi-cloud setups on autopilot. ✈️☁️ The @DE-CIX Cloud ROUTER is now officially supported on our Terraform provider! ✅ Combine AWS, Azure, and DE-CIX in one seamless IaC pipeline. ✅ Build the exact multi-cloud setup your network needs. Building networks has never been this fast (or this fun).

AI didn't replace our developers. It just turned them into speed demons. 🏎️💨 Real-world AI adoption, told via a coffee machine chat today at @DE-CIX: We used to worry about the speed of delivery. Now, the human brain just trying to define the work is the new bottleneck.

AI inference has zero patience for lag. ⏱️🧠 I’m just back from an incredibly insightful time at #WaveLengths26! Here is the TL;DR on where our industry is heading: Enter the Internet Exchanges. We are basically the ultimate matchmakers for the AI era. 💘

An AI without connectivity is just a genius without Wi-Fi. 🧠📶 Everyone is talking about the AI revolution, but we need to talk about the plumbing. Think of it as a multi-cloud strategy, but for AI. It provides direct, private connectivity between enterprises and AI providers.

Are your cloud workloads crying? 😢☁️ Okay, maybe not literally. But if you’re running multi-cloud or hybrid setups without a virtualized router, they are definitely stressed out. Enter the @DE-CIX Cloud ROUTER.

And the heavyweight champion of the 2 Tbps milestone is... 🤠🥊 We’ve had a massive head-to-head battle brewing between @DE-CIX Dallas and @DE-CIX New York. The goal? Be the first to smash the 2 Tbps peak traffic barrier. It was an absolute nail-biter, but last night, Texas brought the heat.

Stop backseat driving the peering industry. 🚗💨 The highly appreciated Global Peering Forum (GPF) board elections are officially coming up! If you have big ideas for the peering community and want to actually steer the future of our industry, now is your chance to grab the wheel.

Everyone has a routing plan until a sea cable snaps. ✂️🌊 During GPF2026, Kaj just presented a brilliant deep-dive on what actually happens at Internet Exchanges when subsea cables break and backbone capacity suddenly vanishes into the ocean.

A Tale of Three Cities (and Zero Downtime). 🏙️ Frankfurt. Amsterdam. New York. Microsoft’s ExpressRoute Metro demands higher availability through two independent handovers in a single metro area. @DE-CIX stepped up to the plate. We are offering DirectCLOUD for ExpressRoute Metro in all locations

Presidential Decree: We’re gonna need a bigger clubhouse. 🏛️📈 As President of the One Tera Bit Club, it is my duty to announce that things are getting crowded in the VIP lounge. We have officially hit 80 members! Please give a warm welcome to our newest recruits. github.com/tking/OneTer...

The recipe for prosperity? 🍲 Take one part ambitious Entrepreneurs. Add one part supportive Politics. Mix well. You can't have one without the other if you want a framework that actually creates jobs (and lets us sleep at night). IHK Frankfurt nailed the mix at yesterday's New Year's reception. 🎩

🌩️ Neoclouds: The AI boom is huge, but let’s be real: Your fancy GPU hardware is depreciating faster than a smartphone the day after a new model drops. 📉 👉 Read the full insight here: www.de-cix.net/en/resources...

We were incredibly proud to host the #TOP100 network (www.top100.de/die-macher/) under the patronage of former Federal President Christian Wulff. It turns out, even the best innovators need good plumbing. 🛠️ We showed them how neutral interconnection platforms isn't just cables and blinky lights.

Cloudflare says 19%. DE-CIX Chicago says "Hold my beer." 🍺📈 Cloudflare Radar just dropped their 2025 review, stating global Internet traffic grew by 19%. Impressive? Sure. But then I looked at my inbox, which has been getting hammered with peak traffic alerts from our @DECIX locations.

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.

Live from the UAEIX Peering Workshop! 🎙️ Marco set the stage, and Abou is currently explaining why the UAE is the ultimate hub for the future of tech. The headline? We have power in the range of Gigawatts ready for your AI and Cloud workloads. 🤯

The One Tera Bit Club is getting crowded! I’m proud to announce we’ve hit 75 members with the addition of IX-Denver and Frys-IX (www.frys-ix.net). Welcome to the club, everyone! (And thanks for the flashback, Frys-IX! 😉): github.com/tking/OneTer...

Spot the difference? 😜 A 400G & 800G transceiver look identical, but one has 2x the power. We just hit a GLOBAL FIRST at @DECIX Frankfurt: connecting Deutsche Glasfaser via a single 800G port! Powered by @Nokia's 800G ZR+ optics, we get: 📈 Doubled bandwidth 💡 Higher efficiency 🌍 Lower energy

The internet as we know it can't handle the AI revolution. I sat down with experts to talk about what needs to change - fast. We're talking a full re-architecture focused on three key players: 🌐 Internet Exchanges (like @DECIX) 🔌 Network Vendors 🏠 Datacenters sponsored.bloomberg.com/hub/nokia/th...

That "cloud" you're using? ☁️➡️🌊 A 50-min Arte doc is spilling the tea on our digital lives, and it’s a must-watch. Turns out, "wireless" is the biggest lie we tell ourselves. Our world runs on very physical, very vulnerable, and real data centers and submarine cables. www.arte.tv/de/videos/12...

🔥 Let's talk about Chicago! 🔥 Just reviewed growth across our 7 US locations, and @DECIX Chicago is on another level. Last 12 Months: 📈 Traffic: +100% (Now 369 Gbps peak!) 🤝 Networks: +20% (Now 66 connected!) With all the #NANOG95 meetings this week, we're betting these numbers grow even more.

🔥 MASSIVE shout-out to the @DECIX Istanbul team! 🔥 They just nailed one of the hardest tasks in networking: a "big bang" PoP migration. ➡️ What: Moved our main PoP (40+ customers) to a new datacenter. ➡️ How Fast: 10 hours, start to finish. ➡️ How Efficient: 8 racks ➡️ 2 racks. ➡️ Super smooth

🚨 RECORD WATCH! @DECIX New York is on the verge of 2Tbps! We just hit a new 1.93Tbps peak, just 7Gbps away from the milestone. 📈 And it's happening right as #NANOG95 kicks off today! 🤯 To all the network engineers gathering to share hints & tricks: Think we'll see that new record fall this week?

The 1 Terabit Club is on FIRE this month! 🔥 We just welcomed THREE new members: Equinix Sydney, BIX, & SOX. That makes 4 new members in a month! Shows how vital IXPs are for keeping our digital world spinning. They're the magic behind your favorite apps! github.com/tking/OneTer...

The passion for the Basketball European Championship is undeniable. When Turkey faced off against Germany, the excitement wasn't just in the arena—it was all over the internet! This showdown blasted traffic at @DECIX Istanbul to a new all-time high of 533 Gbps! 🚀 www.de-cix.net/en/locations...

What an incredible week! As president of the "1 Terabit Club," I'm honored to welcome two new members: UAE-IX (powered by @DECIX) and the Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria (IXPN). Both have made history by surpassing 1 Terabit per second of peak traffic for the first time.

WOW! @UAE-IX just crossed 1 Tbps of peak traffic! 🚀 From 0 to 1 Tbps in 13 years – what an incredible ride. So proud of the @UAE-IX team, the customers, and the @DE-CIX ops & sales & marketing teams for making this happen. HUGE congrats to everyone involved. Well done! 🙌

Why run physical hardware? With the @DECIX Cloud ROUTER, you can: ✅ Deploy a virtual router in seconds ✅ Eliminate colo & power costs ✅ Automate interconnection via API We're leading the change to Network as a Service. #NaaS #NetworkAutomation #DECIX #Cloud

Love my job for the constant new challenges & delivering results with an amazing team! 🚀 Just wrapped a video shoot with @HannahFry (Bloomberg) for @Nokia & @DECIX. Finally met my video buddies IRL after many virtual wins! #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork #NewChallenges #HannahFry #DECIX #Nokia #Bloomberg

Ich darf mich auch persönlich für die langjährige partnerschaftliche Zusammenarbeit bedanken - Eure Zuverlässigkeit ist schon sprichwörtlich! cc/ @clone42.bsky.social @tking.bsky.social

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

🚀 BIRD 3.1 is live! Easily handles 2000+ peers – crucial for @DECIX's large, fast-growing IXPs like Frankfurt (1000+ members, 20% growth!). This capacity is key! Great work, Maria (@cz_nic)! #euroix

Clear network service abstraction is key! It feeds customer info & templates to orchestration for device selection & automation for config changes. Observability then monitors the new service. Great insights from #autocon3!

Key takeaways from #autocon3 on network automation evolution: 1️⃣ Basic scripting (doesn't scale) 2️⃣ Generic engines like Ansible (too slow/not tailored) 3️⃣ Network-specific orchestrators (open-source standard) 4️⃣ Workflow engines (often closed, in-house/products)

Our interconnection platforms are booming! 🚀 @DECIX Dallas just hit a new peak of over 1.5 Tbps, up from 1 Tbps in Oct 2024! Thanks to our amazing customers for your trust & traffic. More value, more peers! #peeringfamily www.de-cix.net/en/locations...

Network automation in the Interconnection industry: a long-term focus with so much still to do! Great to see our community grow. Meeting for the 3rd time to share ideas, software & more. @scottrobohn just kicked off #autocon3! #decix

Big news from @DECIX Frankfurt! We've successfully upgraded our core routers to new @Nokia SR2SE tech for enhanced performance. Amazingly, this major project (Feb-May) was led by our talented junior employees & had zero customer impact. Proud of the team! #DECIX #Networking #Upgrade

Interoperability is and will be key for network infrastructure, driven by the need for open standards and APIs to support AI, 5G/6G, Cloud, and diverse interconnection services. This will enable seamless communication and innovation across multi-vendor environments: www.telecoms.com/network-soft...

Instant provisioning for all kinds of interconnection services combined with a strong self service portal and an API-first strategy is what modern customers expect. We called it Network as a service and this is what @DECIX offers: www.golem.de/news/400g-cl...

The optical industry is becoming more capital-intensive as new technology like 800G requires significant R&D. A consolidation wave is expected, with @Nokia leading by acquiring @Infinera. Initial results are visible at the @Nokia Wavelength event in Vienna. #interconnectionfamily

Happy #WorldBackupDay! Backups are vital, but don't forget connectivity redundancy, especially for cloud & #AI. Avoid the "Application Performance Trap" - one fast connection isn't foolproof. Multiple paths (neutral IXs help!) prevent downtime. #Connectivity

I will be attending @CloudFest(☁️🥳) tomorrow afternoon. I am looking forward to meeting many existing and potential new customers and vendors. Don't be shy—contact me if you want to see me! #peeringfamily

Software updates for computer games are a strong driver for traffic peaks at IXPs. Last week, the @edge_ix Sydney crossed the 1 Tbps mark, making it a new member of the precious "1 TeraBit Club". As of today, we have 66 members from all over the world: https://buff.ly/3S4d7Pc #peeringfamily
