Sub-Peer
Existing peers may connect additional peers using extra VLANs on their peering ports. This allows to share the existing port bandwidth. This service may be booked by the existing peers for a monthly fee of 50€ plus 400€ setup fee.
Private VLANs
Private VLANs on existing peering ports will be configured with a 802.1Q-TAG. There’s only a setup fee per VLAN-ID/Q-TAG of 400 € and no monthly fee.
BCIX PNI Wavelength
BCIX also offers 1Gbps, 10Gbps and 100Gbps PNI (Privat Network Interconnect) connections between all BCIX enabled sites based on the existing optical DWDM network. We also offer redundant connections.

DE-CIX Frankfurt Connect
BCIX and DE-CIX have entered into a cooperation, aiming to interconnect existing peers with the other exchange. A direct connection between the local IXP LANs is not planned, however DE-CIX services can now be made available at BCIX via a VLAN. The following services are available:
- GlobePEER
- VirtualPNI
- DirectCLOUD
- Access port in Frankfurt for connecting to BCIX services (see above)
Several bandwidth options between 100 Mbps and 10 Gbps are available for transporting data between Berlin and Frankfurt.
Due to the multitude of options we ask you to contact sales@bcix.de with your detailed request so we can provide you with a quote.
Examples:
- An existing BCIX peer wants to peer with 1 Gbps at DE-CIX Frankfurt: 500 € monthly + 400 € setup
- An existing BCIX peer needs a DirectCLOUD connection with 100 Mbps: 95 € monthly + 400 € setup
- A peer in Frankfurt currently not connected to DE-CIX wants to peer at BCIX with 1 Gbps: 550 € monthly + 1000 € setup
