Amateur Radio Internet Exchange

ARIX is an experimental internet exchange point for licensed amateur radio operators. ARIX is purely experimental for the use of networking research, development, and education. ARIX is NOT a production-grade internet exchange and should not be relied on as the primary point of connection. That being said, it's great fun to experiment so everyone is encouraged to join if they meet the conditions below.

Connectivity

We use ZeroTier for virtual connections over the internet.

Members must meet the following conditions:

• Must be a licensed amateur radio operator with a valid callsign.
• Must have a public ASN from an IANA recognized RIR.
• Must have a minimum of a routable /24 IPv4 from AMPRNet and/or a /48 IPv6 from any provider.
• Must only use ARP, IP and IPv6 layer 2 protocols.
• IPv6 router solicitation/DHCPv6 must be disabled.
• Must not cause any intentional harm or disruption to others on the exchange or on the internet.

If you would like to join the exchange, send us an email at peering@arix.dev
