The Equinix MLPE service automates peering for open networks by providing route servers for participants to exchange routing information with multiple peers using only a pair of BGP sessions.

This allows for the establishment of of sessions without a bilateral peering agreement in place with the participating networks, MLPE route servers are available at all Equinix Internet Exchange locations and are free of charge to members.

All Equinix MLPE route servers support the ability for participants to more granularly control outbound announcements of their routes using BGP Communities:
