Technology

The core of the Seattle Internet Exchange (SIX) is an Arista Networks 7508 and a Cisco Catalyst 6509 at the Westin Building and an Extreme Networks X670 at Fisher Plaza. Participants may connect to the SIX core using a 1 Gbit/s or 10 Gbit/s Ethernet connection (fiber) or to one of several extensions. Many of the extensions are sponsored by the colocation facilities in the building, and many of these extensions support 100BASE-TX or greater connections.

Both IPv4 and IPv6 peering is available and encouraged at the SIX, availability is dependent on peer.
