A new, segmented, not-for-profit Internet Exchange point (IXP) in Vancouver, BC, Canada with a growing list of access locations in Burnaby, New Westminster, Campbell River, Coquitlam and beyond!
Unmetered.Exchange was created to provide a low-barrier, easy to access Internet Exchange in Canada which improves routing performance for all Installed parties
As of August 2019 we are now accepting 100gbps connections in the Harbor Center Meet Me Room! You must supply your own optic to connect. Details in our FAQ
An IX (Internet Exchange) allows networks to interconnect on an open-access ethernet fabric -- providing low-latency, high-bandwidth, cost-effectively, in a locale. Internet Exchanges improve Internet performance for all participants by increasing bandwidth and lowering latency for all connected networks.
Right now we have two switches available for cross connects - one located in the Meet Me Room on floor 6 of Harbor Center and a second located at the TechFutures YVR1 colocation datacenter. Please note we are only accepting fibre cross-connects in Harbor Center.

An IX (Internet Exchange) allows networks to interconnect on an open-access ethernet fabric -- providing low-latency, high-bandwidth, cost-effectively, in a locale. Internet Exchanges improve Internet performance for all participants by increasing bandwidth and lowering latency for all connected networks.
All participants connect to the shared switching fabric using Ethernet - either via copper (cat 5e/6) or fibre (single mode, LC connector).
Participants use the Border Gateway routing Protocol (BGP) to exchange routing information with other connected networks.
Right now we have two switches available for cross connects - one located in the Meet Me Room on floor 6 of Harbor Center and a second located at the TechFutures YVR1 colocation datacenter. Please note we are only accepting fibre cross-connects in Harbor Center.
as of July 2019 we are not charging for ports
We currently support copper connections via 1gbps CAT6/CAT5e cable, fiber cross connects via 10Gbase-LR single mode transcievers, or 100gbps connections (supply your own Cisco QSFP28 optic). Please note that we are only accepting copper cross-connects at the Techfutures colocation, and we are only accepting 10 or 100gbps connections over fiber except under special circumstances
Yes. Our route servers support strict IRRDB filtering and have strict prefix limits to prevent invalid routes from entering participants' routing tables.
We currently use the following prefixes on the peering VLAN:
Yes! Our PeeringDB page is: https://www.peeringdb.com/ix/2452 and we can also be found on Hurricane Electric's BGP Toolkit
Yes! Our looking glass is available at: http://lg.unmetered.exchange
Right now you can see all the active sessions to our route server and we may add additional functionality over time.
We currently operate an AS112.net route server and may bring more services online in the near future!
We use BIRD to power our route servers, which is a widely adopted routing engine used on IX's around the world. To configure BIRD we use ARouteServer which has greatly aided in automation of our configuration.
Great! We'd be happy to have you! We have just a couple of simple rules:
Assuming you meet these requirements and can get a physical cross-connect to our switches, send an email to [email protected] with your ASN, AS-SET, desired connection type and desired location to connect.
Unmetered.Exchange does not currently charge a port fee for 1gbps ports, however, depending on your colocation contract your datacenter may charge you a cross-connect fee to connect to our switches. Please reach out to your datacenter sales contact for any questions.
Although not a requirement, you are encouraged to update your PeeringDB profile and list Unmetered.Exchange as a new public peering point.
You may also consider peering with our route server, as the route server will give you the routing tables for all connected peers without having to establish bilateral peering sessions with all networks on the exchange.
