whether measured in terms of traffic or membership. As a result we
enable access to more Internet routes, reaching more countries, than
any other public peering point.

About SFINX (Service for French Internet Exchange)
The SFINX is a GIX (Global Internet eXchange), where Internet traffic
is exchanged between Internet Service providers, or telecommunications
carriers, with no transit and without having to use international
infrastructures.
GIP RENATER runs the SFINX since 1995 and SFINX offers have evolved
taking into account both the needs expressed by connected ISPs and the
constraints of the business model. Today we notice that more than 90%
of the ISPs choose the SFINX DIRECT service (enabling a direct
connexion on the SFINX, with no hosted equipment), the HOSTED SFINX
service being less adapted to the current needs. The SFINX architecture
has also been changed resulting in lower interconnection costs. In this
context, RENATER has decided to change its SFINX tariffs.
