An IX (Internet Exchange) allows networks to interconnect on an open-access ethernet fabric -- providing low-latency, high-bandwidth, cost-effectively, in a locale.
A Virtual Internet Exchange simulates a real Internet Exchange Point using tunnels and virtulized switches. It has the advantage of allowing remote users with public resources to peer in a more automated manner.
Note that while traditional Internet Exchanges generally decrease latency and increase bandwidth, EVIX makes no such guarentee. In fact, EVIX may potentially increase latency (for example if 2 people on the East Coast need to send traffic to each other via our West Coast switch).
EVIX's primary purpose is for research and education, and should not be expected to increase Internet performance.
EVIX uses OpenVPN, EoIP, ZeroTier or VXLAN tunnels to establish layer 2 connectivity and exchange IP and IPv6 data. As with any Internet Exchange peers use BGP to send routes to each other.
Right now we have three POPs; our primary switch is in Fremont, California and we have extension switches in the Netherlands and New Zealand. We are planning additional sites to further reduce latency.

Participating in EVIX is free, although we do appreciate any donations to keep the infrastrutcture running.
Anyone who holds public resources (ASN and IPv4/IPv6) is free to join EVIX to gain experience with BGP and routing. To get started first fill out the peering request form on our contact page
These are the core objectives of EVIX:
To provide a 0 cost, low-barrier Internet Exchange Point for users holding public resources to experiment with BGP and routing protocols.
Anyone is welcome to join EVIX. to start the process, please review our rules: FAQ and then fill out the contact form below (unless noted, all fields are required):
Please note, only local connections are supported at our FRA and VAN POPs. If you wish to connect by a tunnel, please select a pop from the locations list. If you are connecting via a VM interface (such as ones offered by iFog or Free Range Cloud), please select the local connection type!
Once your application has been receivied, it will be evaluated and processed by one of our volunteer staff. When your application has been approved, you will be contacted by email to establish a peering session. Please whitelist 'helpdesk@evix.org' in your mail client to avoid missing these important instructions.
