Site changelog

What changed on IX Report with each update, newest first. Looking for networks joining and leaving exchanges? That's the change log.

Prices published as pictures Oct 4, 2026

  • Port fees that an exchange publishes as an image (IX-Denver's price table, for one) are now read with text recognition, re-read every update, and the exchange page links to the image they came from.
  • A price list's "effective" date no longer makes it look like a dated note.
  • Metro interconnection reports have their own Metros link in the top bar; About moved to the bottom of every page, next to the Changelog.

Fixes after the big update Oct 4, 2026

  • Exchanges that say they charge nothing for ports ("$0 monthly port fees", "zero port fees") now show that in Port fees, as the IX.NET exchanges do.
  • The Not found boxes on exchange pages accept addresses again.
  • A few dozen changes wrongly logged as networks leaving, the day the stricter list reading started, were removed.
  • Every change has a source badge; changes from before sources were tracked have a –.

Port fees, three-source comparison, new tools Oct 4, 2026

  • Port fees: each exchange page has a Port fees section, read from the pricing or join page on the exchange's own website, with the sentence each price was read from. Where none has been found, the page says so, with a button to add the page. A fees.csv download lists them all.
  • Not found buttons: where no members list or fees page has been found, the exchange page has a Not found button that turns into a box for the address. Suggestions are checked automatically at the next update, with the same checks as the website search, and used only if they pass.
  • Peers: the exchange list is sorted by peers, the highest of each exchange's three counts (its website's members list, its IX-F list, PeeringDB), and the number used is highlighted.
  • Match bar: it now compares all three sources. Green networks are in every source; the other colours are networks not in PeeringDB, networks only in PeeringDB, and networks on only one of the IX-F and website lists. Exchange pages show the same bar, and their members chart shows all three sources.
  • Members column: "Not found" instead of a dash, linking to an email to tell us where the list is.
  • Change log: every change has a badge for where it was seen: PDB (PeeringDB), IXF (the IX-F list), WEB (the exchange's website). Networks added to or dropped from just one source, while another still lists them, are noted too. Changes from before this update have a – badge, since their source wasn't recorded.
  • Map: more detailed outlines, state and province borders, and city names that appear as you zoom in. Click a dot to open its exchange (where dots overlap, a click lists them all), and switch on the facility layer to see data centers with an exchange.
  • Facilities: three measures, for different questions: total peers (the members of every exchange in the building added up), unique reach (each network counted once), and networks listed in the building. Each facility also shows how many listed networks don't peer on its exchanges, and which ones.
  • New tools: an exchange recruitment report (networks in its buildings, its metro, neighbouring exchanges and comparable markets that aren't members yet, with the evidence); What does my next exchange add?; metro reports, one page per market; facility reach comparison; operator reports, each operator's exchanges as one portfolio.
  • Exchanges that aren't in PeeringDB can now be added; their pages say so.
  • Members lists found on exchange websites are always used, even when the page shows the exchange's IX-F export, so a change on either side shows up (FL-IX, CIX-ATL and CIX-NoVA among them).
  • DE-CIX: members lists for 31 of its 38 locations, up from 6.
  • Powered by IX.NET at the bottom of every page, and this changelog.
  • The text on every page was checked against how the site works now.

More accurate members lists Oct 4, 2026

  • The exchange list always loads fresh data: browsers could keep an old copy of it.
  • Members pages are read more carefully: the AS-number column is taken only from the members table (dates and data-center tables elsewhere on the page were being read as AS numbers), tables are found even without a header row, and a status column is used only when it holds statuses.
  • Lists read by network name are used only when most of their entries are recognised, and lists far below the count an exchange states (a page of highlighted members, say) aren't used.
  • A page listing the members of several exchanges is used only for the one it matches.
  • The member count an exchange states is used when it fits what the lists show, including on websites shared by several exchanges (SIX Seattle) and on each location's own page (DE-CIX).
  • DE-CIX: members lists read from its location pages, the first six locations.

Never out of date Oct 3, 2026

  • Nothing old is shown: if a list, members page, traffic graph or stated count can't be read, it shows as unavailable, with the reason, until it can be read again. If the whole site hasn't updated for more than 7 hours, every page says so at the top.
  • The member count an exchange states on its website ("371 members") is shown as The exchange says, re-read every update.
  • Members lists in data files behind a page (CSV and JSON, or a page's non-JavaScript version) are found and read, counting each network once and only rows marked connected.
  • Traffic from exchanges' statistics pages, including SIX Seattle's 12-month chart from its daily figures.

Three sources and traffic Oct 3, 2026

  • Exchange pages show three sources side by side: PeeringDB, the IX-F export and the members list on the exchange's website, with a badge per network.
  • The exchanges table shows Members, IX-F and PeeringDB, in that order.
  • Traffic charts for exchanges that publish their traffic, and a Busiest exchanges list.
  • The website search goes two clicks deep and recognises members lists by network name.
  • Change logs and news pages are no longer mistaken for members lists (SIX Seattle's list of updates was).

Change archive and tools Oct 3, 2026

  • The change log is kept forever, with a monthly archive and a search by exchange, network or facility.
  • Site search, Where should I peer?, Compare two exchanges, and CSV downloads.
  • A Report a correction link on every exchange page.
  • The map zooms and pans.
  • Metro areas without an exchange, one per country with the nearest exchange, and the most isolated big cities.
  • Feeds open as a readable page in a browser.

Network, facility and map pages Oct 3, 2026

  • A page for every network and every facility with an exchange.
  • A world map of exchanges, and a US map of the states and metro areas without one.
  • Growth charts, fix lists (as CSV), and a feed of changes for every exchange.
  • A Data status box on each exchange page, saying what the last update found.
  • Ghost exchanges get a badge, country filters and a list of their operators.
  • Top 10 lists for the largest US metro areas and states without an exchange.

Changes, ghosts and the website search Oct 2, 2026

  • A Networks page: every network in PeeringDB, with how many exchanges it's on.
  • Member lists from Euro-IX's IX-F database where PeeringDB has none.
  • A log of networks joining and leaving exchanges, and the latest changes on the front page.
  • Ghost exchanges: exchanges with fewer than two outside networks.
  • Top 10 facilities and cities, with a country filter; flags you can click to filter by country.
  • A weekly search of exchange websites for their members lists.
