TorIX

TorIX The Toronto Internet Exchange (TorIX) is one of the largest Internet Exchange Points (IXP) in North America, and the largest in Canada.

The TorIX is an entity designed to act as a junction between multiple points of Internet presence. Here, members are able to directly connect with one another in order to exchange local Internet traffic. The TorIX owns and operates the switching platforms used to interconnect the various members. The switching platforms are a series of non-blocking 10/100TX/1000SX Ethernet switches capable of hand

ling ample amounts of traffic. These switches are located in diverse areas throughout the building. This infrastructure enables members to select the location closest to their point of presence. Alternatively, members may choose to take advantage of the redundant infrastructure by running a connection to 2 or more switching sites. The TorIX is not a single connection point, but rather many. Once you have connected, you will have the ability to peer with any number of peers over any routing protocol you wish. Please keep in mind that BGP4 and portable address space are ideal, but by no means required in order to setup a peering arrangement with anyone connected to the switch. Individual members may mandate a certain protocol and/or minimum connection size, however to connect to TorIX and utilize it's services, you are free to choose. The TorIX is a layer 2 service. No routing facilities exist. The routing or forwarding of packets is performed by the individual member routers.

Time capsule:
March 7, 2004 - 1 Gbps
October 29, 2012 - 100 Gbps
October 13, 2015 - 200 Gbps
September 8, 2016 - 300 Gbps

It took 3158 days to jump from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps, 1079 days to jump from 100 Gbps to 200 Gbps, and 331 days to achieve the next milestone of 300 Gbps... how long until 400 Gbps?
