Cytanet Network | The Cyprus Internet Exchange (CyIX)About CyIXThe Cyprus Technology Foundation initiated the formation of the Cyprus Internet Exchange which interconnects three of the Cyprus Internet Service Providers. Its main scope is to allow the exchange of local traffic at high speeds, thus preventing the use of International bandwidth. Connected to CyIX are top-level Cyprus Internet Service Providers that own international lines and high-capacity national backbones. | |

The Founding Members |
So far, the networks that fulfill the requirements for a connection to CyIX and have signed a peering agreement, are the following:
Cytanet
LogosNet and
CyLink
The even distribution of Internet services among the above mentioned three Internet links results to the high quality of offered services to the end users within Cyprus. |

How It worksBy utilising the latest technology, the Cyprus Technology Foundation will offer the peering and administration services of the CyIX as well as the secretarial support.
Regarding the operation of the CyIX, two committees will have the responsibility:
- The Administrative Committee (responsible for the general policies of CyIX). The operation of CyIX will be implemented via bi-lateral peering agreements between the members, which cover issues such as: costing, connectivity and routing policies between the member ISP's.
- The Technical Committee (responsible for the day-to-day operation, configuration, changes to the structure, connection of new networks etc.) Furthermore, it was agreed a common paper (by-laws) regarding the general operation and techical management of the CyIX node.
