EVIX - Experimental Virtual Internet X-change

At EVIX, we provide a low-barrier entry point for hobbyists, network engineers, and tech enthusiasts to gain real-world experience with internet exchange operations. Our platform is designed to replicate an actual internet exchange as closely as possible, enabling participants to explore peering, routing, and network automation in a dynamic, learning-focused environment. 🔧 Automation at the Core We believe in minimizing manual intervention to optimize learning and reduce operational overhead for our dedicated volunteers. By automating core processes, we not only streamline the experience for our participants but also contribute to automation advancements in real-world internet exchanges. 🔌 Supported Connection Types To ensure seamless connectivity, we support layer 2 tunneling solutions that facilitate direct member-to-member peering. Our supported protocols include: ✅ VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) ✅ EoIP (Ethernet over IP) ✅ OpenVPN ✅ ZeroTier ✅ Local Ethernet & Custom Layer 2 Transit We do not support GRE tunneling, as it only transports layer 3 packets, and GRE-TAP’s inconsistencies can cause unresolvable issues. Our focus remains on stable, scalable, and widely supported layer 2 technologies. 🚀 Whether you’re a networking enthusiast looking to experiment or an industry professional seeking an automation-driven exchange experience, EVIX is the perfect platform to learn, connect, and grow. 🔗 Join us today and start peering!
