Transport
Transport services
The Transport services are dedicated exclusively to a single Member/Partner of the consortium and allow for the implementation of dedicated Layer 2 connectivity between ports assigned to them, active on the consortium’s infrastructure.
The Transport services are exclusively available in direct access mode to the TOP-IX infrastructure and can only be provided on ports of the “Transport” type.

DETAILS AND PRICING FOR TRANSPORT SERVICE
Access to the services must be made in full compliance with the following constraints and requirements.
Physical Layer
The physical interfaces of the devices connected to the TOP-IX infrastructure must comply with the interconnection requirements defined in the Service Description document.
Any exceptions must be agreed upon with TOP-IX and explicitly authorized by it.
MAC and VLAN Layer
The service is intended to allow connectivity between Layer 3 devices of the Consortium’s Members/Partners, therefore a limit is imposed on the MAC addresses that can be routed through the TOP-IX infrastructure (a necessary limit to preserve the proper functioning of the backbone itself).
The maximum limit of MAC addresses that will be accepted on the single interconnection port is set to 2 for each requested VLAN.
