Remote
Peering

Access Seoul's open internet exchange from anywhere in the world — without co-locating equipment at our facility. Same non-profit access, same route servers, zero physical footprint required.

What is it?

Peer in Seoul.
Sit anywhere.

Remote Peering is a virtual connection to packet:IX's switching fabric, provisioned through an authorized reseller partner. Your traffic is tunneled to our Seoul facility, where it exchanges across our fabric with member networks — exactly as if your router were physically present.

Because packet:IX is non-profit, we pass the same economics to remote members. There's no commercial premium for accessing the internet exchange remotely — just the cost of the connection itself.
