According to consortium logic, Marketplace services are provided to consortium members by other TOP-IX members<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TOP-IX infrastructure allows, through private VLANs, the connection between service providers and purchasers<\/strong>, positioning itself as a simple technological intermediary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As in IP Transit, indeed, the contract occurs between the consortium members, with no interference from the operational structure, except for the configuration of the appropriate VLANs and ports. Consortium members are free to choose whether to sell\/buy various services on a single port (appropriately sized) or on different ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, the Marketplace services exclusively include Layer 2 transport<\/strong> between the requesting entity and another Consortium member. The services provided through the aforementioned transport are subject to direct agreements between the two involved Members\/Partners<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
