# What is ThorIX? ThorIX is a replacement for a network situated in e.g. ThorDC having to do PNI across many kilometres of land just to peer with networks situated in e.g. Verne DC. Not to mention ThorIX gives smaller networks in the various facilities dotted around Iceland the opportunity of peering inside their local facility without having to do PNI (the previously only available option). Installation of L2 between facilities will have to be dependent on exchange growth and interest from larger bandwidth players (e.g. Cloudflare). We encourage interested networks to contact us to discuss integration at: - thorix@peering.is - +354 784 0020 (Kjartan) ## atNorth ICE01 (ThorDC) facility ThorIX has its first point of presence situated in Northlayer's cabinet in atNorth ICE01 in Hafnarfjörður. This is also partially where the exchange derives its name from. We hope that with time we will get to expand all across the country. ## Temporary/Public Notices _Please note that while ThorIX undergoes tax registration the peering LAN will be limited to CGNAT v4 space and a temporary IPv6 allocation._ **_Due to an increased volume of questions regarding "virtual ports" or "VM membership" we would like to make it clear that ThorIX is a physical-only exchange and does not permit extending the peering LAN via tunnels or in general carrying tunnel traffic._**
