DesMoinesIX - DesMoines Internet eXchange

DesMoinesIX is a local Internet Exchange Point (IXP) based in Des Moines, Iowa. Located at the ConnectDSM facility at 666 Walnut St., DesMoinesIX offers a range of peering services to enhance local network connectivity. Participants can engage in bilateral peering to establish direct connections with other members or opt for multilateral peering through the route server to exchange routes with multiple neighbors simultaneously.

DesMoinesIX stands out by providing free peering services with no monthly recurring port fees, making it one of the few IXPs in the nation to offer such a benefit. The exchange also supports private VLANs for those requiring a private network with another member and remote peering services, enabling connections to other IXPs.
