Peers

After creating your prefix, change to the menu item Peers. Here you can now add and remove peers, they also have the option to choose whether to enable IPv4 or not, and you can also generate a password for the peer.

If you have reached the maximum number of peers, but need more peers, then please write us an email to peering@thess-ix.net.

Endpoints

There are many different ways to connect to our Internet Exchange Point, the best being via Ethernet, which requires a physical connection via fiber optic or RJ45 cable. Of course you can also connect to the dedicated and virtual servers of Greekstream Networks with our Internet Exchange Point. Alternatively, you can set up a tunnel via Ethernet over IP, GRE or VXLAN and connect to our IXP via a tunnel.
