One Port. Many Possibilities.

Select a port that best meets your needs.

If you are only looking to peer at the ISP Peering LAN:

Get a Peering Port

Peering Port is an untagged interface that only gives you access to the ISP Peering LAN for public peering. It does not support VLANs and does not give you access to cloud exchange services, such as connections to AWS, IP transit, transport & private interconnects, etc.

* Fractional (sub-rate) ports are billed annually and are non-burstable. Input direction into IX switch is policed at committed rate, and thus participant should enable queueing (traffic shaping) on egress to prevent excessive discards. MASS IX will queue on its output direction; maximum queue depth during congestion shall not exceed 100 ms.

To order a peering port, your network must meet technical requirements outlined in the MASS IX Connection Guidelines document.

Please see MASS IX Enabled Sites for a list of possible locations to connect from.

If you need cloud connectivity, private interconnection, or IP transit in addition to public peering:

Packetsurge™ Port

Packetsurge™ Port gives you the full compliment of exchange services. In addition to the ISP Peering LAN, you get access to our cloud exchange services and you can create VLANs to other Packetsurge ports, whether it's for private interconnections or data center interconnect applications.

MASS IX does not charge fees to establish VLANs (EVCs). Instead, each Packetsurge port comes with a pack of EVCs included‐ scaling limitations are outlined under EVC Port Scales.

If you're a service provider, you can use the Packetsurge port as an NNI and sell connectivity services to other participants.

Each Packetsurge port includes free 1G IP transit and free 100M AWS DirectConnect.
