The exchange
south of
everything.
LSIX is the internet exchange anchored at DFDC THG1, The Hague — 15 data centers across four metros, dark-fiber interconnected on our own Nokia optical network. Peering included on every port, services provisioned in seconds.
Concentration is rational.
Until it isn't.
Carriers build where the customers are, customers land where the carriers are — and everything piles up in one metro. The market won't correct itself, so we changed the economics: a full exchange core in The Hague, own dark fiber to every metro that matters, and 36 months free to peer south.
The Hague — DFDC
The core. Route servers, the peering LAN backbone and the densest interconnect south of Amsterdam — inside our own carrier-neutral facility.
CORE SITE → NWKNaaldwijk — Greenhouse DC1–3
All three Greenhouse Datacenters in the Westland corridor, with our own racks and hands on site. 10G and 100G links.
3 SITES → RTMRotterdam — Bytesnet · SmartDC
Two data centers serving Europe's largest port — Bytesnet (Eurofiber CloudInfra) and SmartDC. Land once, reach the entire fabric.
2 SITES → AMSAmsterdam — NIKHEF + Equinix
Nine data centers: NIKHEF and eight Equinix campuses (AM1–AM11). Where most members connect today — and the widest on-ramp to everything south.
9 SITES →One building holds
the center.
The LSIX core lives inside DFDC THG1 — our sister company's carrier-neutral facility in The Hague. Exchange and data center under one holding: no landlord, no waiting list, no cross-connect politics.

Priced like a utility.
Provisioned like software.
Every LSIX port is a programmable endpoint on the fabric. Peering is included, everything else is one order away — from the portal or the CLI. Month-to-month on list price, no setup fees, LAGs at no extra cost.
Peering10G VC · free forever
103 networks, RPKI route servers in THG1 and Amsterdam, open policy. A 10G peering circuit is free on every port — forever.
Metro & Private VLANspoint-to-point L2
Private Ethernet between any two ports on the fabric — The Hague to Rotterdam, Naaldwijk to Amsterdam. Up to 128 VLANs per port.
Metal On-Rampswith netrouting
Fabric circuits straight into bare-metal compute at Netrouting — deploy servers where your traffic already lands, one VLAN away.
IP TransitAS35430 · blended
Blended upstream on the port you already peer with, announced under LayerSwitch transit AS35430. Full tables or default, IPv4 + IPv6.
DDoS Protectionrtbh · flowspec · scrubbing
Three layers of defense at the fabric edge — blackholing, FlowSpec filtering and full scrubbing. Attacks stop at the port, not in your core.
Marketplacebuy & sell on-fabric
Transit, security, compute — offered by networks already on the fabric, one circuit away. Launching with the portal.
Facilities. Network. Exchange.
LSIX is part of the LayerSwitch group, next to Netrouting and DFDC. When the data center, the backbone and the exchange share one owner, provisioning takes minutes — not weeks of emails between three vendors.
Carrier-neutral colocation in The Hague. 3.50 MW, distributed 2N+1 — and the physical home of the LSIX core.
Bare metal, cloud and the AS6206 backbone across 28 locations on three continents. The hands and the hardware.
The neutral meeting point — where 103 networks, including those two, exchange traffic on equal terms.
