Easter is almost here, and we have some little (peering) Easter Eggs for you: Check out our library of recorded, available on-demand webinars for insights into peering – from Blackholing to BGP. Or have a look at our new route server features: Informational and operational BGP Communities for origin tagging and graceful BGP session shutdown. In addition, you could read the Telecom Ramblings interview with Ivo Ivanov about the future of interconnection. Or seize the opportunity to register for the next DE-CIX TechMeeting!
Whatever you do: We wish you a Happy Easter and enjoy the holidays!
