Exchange traffic directly at Korea's first open, non-profit Internet Exchange. Lower latency, lower costs — with no commercial agenda standing between you and better connectivity.
Unlike commercial IXPs, packet:IX has no obligation to maximize revenue. Our only obligation is to you — and to the internet community in Korea.
Where do membership fees go?
100% back into infrastructure, operations, and expanding coverage. We publish annual financial reports.
Who controls packet:IX?
Our member community. Major decisions are made transparently with member input. No single corporate entity holds control.
Why non-profit?
The internet works best when exchange points serve the network community — not investors. We exist to improve connectivity, period.
We are non-profit. Every fee you pay goes directly into infrastructure — not shareholder pockets. No hidden charges, no upsells.
Exchange traffic directly in Seoul, cutting unnecessary transit hops. The shortest path between Korean networks runs through packet:IX.
Our route servers give you immediate access to all connected networks. One session — every member.
Flexible bandwidths and redundant switching fabric designed for 99.9% uptime, backed by transparent SLAs.
No corporate agenda. Community-driven decisions. As a member, you have a voice in how packet:IX is run and where we invest.
Our operations, financials, and infrastructure decisions are open. We publish traffic statistics, route data, and policy changes publicly.
