Connecting Asia Pacific to London: Seamless Peering at LINX with Epsilon

As global demand for low-latency, high-performance connectivity continues to surge, networks across Asia Pacific are increasingly seeking efficient routes and methods to interconnect in Europe.  

The London Internet Exchange (LINX), one of the world’s largest Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), offers a strategic gateway for networks to peer with each other, content providers, clouds, enterprises and many other industries in London — Europe’s digital capital.  

Through LINX’s ConneXions Reseller Partner Programme, Epsilon Telecommunications provides a powerful solution for networks in Asia Pacific to reach LINX without the need for physical infrastructure in the UK. 

Why Peer in London? 

Peering in London enables networks to reduce transit costs, improve performance, and access a highly interconnected digital ecosystem. It also increases visibility within the broader peering community, allowing other networks and enterprises to discover and connect with their services more easily.

As one of the world’s largest and most established Internet Exchanges, LINX provides access to a deeply connected ecosystem in the United Kingdom. With over 30 years of operational experience, it remains a critical interconnection hub for global networks, supported by a highly resilient and well-engineered London fabric.

Key advantages of peering at LINX: 

• Strategic geographic location bridging Europe, North America, and Africa 
• Dense ecosystem of ISPs, CDNs, cloud providers, and enterprise networks 
• World-class engineering and infrastructure offered by LINX, future-proof and 24/7 NOC for all connected networks whether they connect direct or via a reseller partner like Epsilon 
• Mutual, member-owned model ensuring transparency and value

Remote Peering to LINX: Fast, Flexible, and Scalable 

Epsilon’s Remote Peering service, powered by its software-defined networking platform Infiny, allows networks to connect on-demand to LINX’s LON1 and LON2 platforms in London. This removes the need for costly infrastructure investments and provides flexible bandwidth options, enabling networks to scale as needed.

Benefits include: 

• Low latency and improved user experience through direct routes, less hops means increased control network traffic 
• Rapid provisioning via Infiny’s intuitive interface 
• Cost-efficiency with pay-as-you-grow models 
• Access to over 900 ASNs from 80+ countries at LINX
• Peering and beyond, with options to add additional interconnection services including the Microsoft Azure Peering Service (MAPS)
