YRIX - Yellowstone Regional Internet Exchange

The Yellowstone Regional Internet Exchange (YRIX) is a regional peering point designed to enhance connectivity and performance for Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Broadband Providers, Hosting Services, and other related organizations in the greater Yellowstone region. By facilitating peering services, YRIX aims to improve the efficiency of data routing between participants, reducing the need for traffic to travel to major public network access points (PNAPs) and thereby enhancing overall network performance.

Located in a neutral facility in Billings, Montana, YRIX offers both bi-lateral and multi-lateral peering options, allowing ISPs to manage their IP backbone services more cost-effectively. The exchange also provides opportunities for redundant routing through bi-lateral agreements, ensuring reliable and efficient data transfer.
