Easy and affordable maintenance and expansion
- PREDICTABILITY OF EXPENSES – the prices of BIX.BG are public, so the cost can easily be calculated and planned into the budget. With the private peering every case is a bit different, which makes it harder to predict: if the traffic expands with 50% for example, how much and which exactly physical connections should be changed and what would be the real price;
- THE RESPONSIBILITY TO SEARCH FOR NEW PEERING PARTNERS SWITCHES FROM THE PARTICIPANT TO BIX.BG– the effect of every new participant attracted by BIX.BG is equivalent to as if the rest of the members build direct connection to him, however they have not invested any time or money;
- BIX.BG ALLOWS EASY AND FAST STARTING NEW or stopping the available peering sessions without the need to build/destroy a separate physical connection for every peer. Peering is a software configuration by two participants and the session will start right away. With the help of Route Servers one can use only two BGP sessions to exchange traffic with all other parties involved;
- One can easily create new test peering sessions – if two participants have free capacity, they can start such a connection without ANY ADDITIONAL EXPENSES and administrative work. This would prevent irrelevant private peering without clear traffic and financial capacity.
