Updated information on Any2 Northeast

The Northeast Exchange is a regional Ethernet exchange supporting both Any2 public peering traffic and point-to-point Ethernet connections.  Here are some descriptions on the Any2 Northeast Exchange network: 

  • Any2 is divided into 3 separate networks in the NE, with one of those networks operating as the distributed Any2 NE Exchange
    • 12100 Sunrise Valley (Reston) and 1275 K St (Washington, DC)– 206.51.40.0/24
    • 32 Ave. of the Americas (New York) – 206.51.45.0/24
    • 70 Innerbelt (Boston) – 206.51.42.0/24
  • Each location allows a network to peer within only that location (i.e. 70 Innerbelt participants within VLAN 103 only)
  • Each location allows a network to peer with all other networks on the NE Exchange, VLAN 101
  • We currently have route servers available on the NE Exchange (IP address range 206.51.40.0)
  • Any2 VLAN 101 supports FastE, GE, 10GE ports 
  • Any2 VLAN 103 and 106 supports FastE, and GE 

This discussion is relative to the Ethernet network which underlies Any2.  The Ethernet network will support the following interconnection types: 

  • Point-to-point Ethernet.  This is for companies that want to use our long distance Ethernet as a bridge between their own POPs via a VLAN ID.  We establish a FastE or GE port, and deliver the connection at both ends.
  • Customer-to-customer Ethernet.  There is a customer in one data center desiring an Ethernet interconnection with a customer in another data center.  We establish a FastE or GE port, VLAN, and deliver the connection at both ends.
  • Customer Virtual Private Network in multiple cities.  If a customer is present in more than two facilities we can create a virtual private network using our Ethernet network to make the customer look as if they have a VPN established among all locations.  We establish a FastE or GE port, VLAN, and deliver the connection at all ends.
