Introducing LINX Accra, a neutral, multi-site interconnection fabric providing peering services and more.

The LINX team were pleased to finalise details with our local data centre partners and champions in Ghana Onix Data Centres and PAIX Data Centres at AfricaCom this morning in Cape Town.

Set to go live in early Q1 of 2025, the new IXP will follow the LINX design of a resilient, interconnected, multi-site fabric to grow with the predicted demand for the region, future-proofing digital services and further enhancing Ghana’s connectivity ecosystem.

Head of Global Engagement for LINX, Nurani Nimpuno commented on the announcement;

“We are delighted to be launching in Ghana. The LINX Accra IXP will bring robust, distributed interconnection services across several data centres in Accra. The state-of-the-art LINX interconnection hub ensures that as demand for connectivity grows, the infrastructure in Accra is ready to support it. LINX Accra will not only support the growth of the strong local ISP community, but with several key Internet submarine cables landing in Accra, it is uniquely positioned to become a central gateway for Internet traffic in West Africa.”

Some of the details LINX has listed for members seems to be incorrect.

For example: Networks that show on LINX's directory as being on the route server are actually not on the route server. (This could of been a decision made at the time of sign up and then changed at somepoint).


I'm finding myself bouncing between LINX, PeeringDB (Which can also be incorrect) and bgp.tools (Which seems to be the source of truth.)


It takes me less than 20 seconds to check LONAP and about 1hr+ to manually compare using the above tools for LON1. Surely there is an easier way? (Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong)


Cheers

Chris 😘

Maybe it would be nice to have a "Peering" section for people looking for peers and people to peer with?
