MyIX

What MyIX does

MyIX (Persatuan Pengendali Internet Malaysia) is the national internet exchange point of Malaysia, established in 2006 and headquartered in Puchong, Selangor. It operates a neutral, multilateral peering infrastructure that allows Malaysian network service providers, content hosting companies, and international peering partners to exchange domestic internet traffic directly, thereby reducing dependence on international transit routes, lowering latency, and improving resilience against submarine cable disruptions. The platform handles 2,527 Gbps of peak traffic as of February 2026, representing 16% year-over-year growth.

MyIX's technical stack is centered on a standard IXP architecture: physical Points of Presence (POPs) where members cross-connect, the IXP Manager portal (v7.3.0, built on the open-source platform from Internet Neutral Exchange Association CLG) for member administration and peering statistics, a Network Operations Center (NOC) and Network Monitoring System (NMS) for 24/7 infrastructure oversight, a public Looking Glass diagnostic tool, Speedtest infrastructure, and Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) for BGP route origin validation. Members connect via ports and pay associated port fees; three membership tiers exist — Ordinary (NSP license holders), Associate (content hosting and adjacent providers), and Peering Partner (international entities with AS numbers).

MyIX is a non-profit industry association governed by its member committee rather than equity holders. Revenue is generated through membership fees and port fees, but specific figures are not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is primarily direct onboarding of licensed Malaysian NSPs under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, supported by an industry-events and member-portal channel mix. The organization has 1-10 employees, operates as Malaysia's sole national IXP, and explicitly aligns its mission with the country's AI Nation 2030 digital infrastructure agenda.

Regional players

• HKIX (Hong Kong Internet Exchange): Non-profit IXP at HKU providing peering services primarily for the Hong Kong and regional Asia-Pacific community. Comparable as an academic/association-hosted IXP in Asia serving similar ISP and content-hosting customers.
• NIXI (National Internet Exchange of India): India's national neutral IXP, operating multiple nodes across the country under a non-profit/industry-body framework. Highly comparable as a national, member-driven IXP focused on domestic peering in a large South/Southeast Asian market.
• JPIX (Japan Internet Exchange): Non-profit IXP in Japan providing domestic peering services to Japanese ISPs and content providers. Comparable in mission and member-based model, but focused on the Japanese market rather than Malaysia.

Direct peers

• France-IX: Non-profit, member-based IXP in France providing neutral peering infrastructure. Directly comparable in governance model (association) and product offering to MyIX, though at greater scale.
• DE-CIX: One of the world's largest carrier-and-data-center-neutral IXPs, operating a global footprint of interconnection hubs. Directly comparable as a major neutral IXP serving ISPs, content networks, and enterprises.
• LINX (London Internet Exchange): One of the world's largest neutral IXPs, operated as a member-based association in London. Directly comparable as a non-profit, member-funded internet exchange providing peering infrastructure to ISPs and content networks.
• AMS-IX (Amsterdam Internet Exchange): Neutral, member-based IXP based in Amsterdam offering peering and interconnection services. Directly comparable in operating model (non-profit association) and core service offering to MyIX.
• BBIX (Broadband Internet Exchange, SoftBank): Operated by SoftBank, BBIX runs multiple IXP locations in Japan and Asia offering neutral peering services. Comparable as an IXP operator serving ISPs and content providers across Asia, though commercially operated rather than non-profit.

Broad incumbents

• Equinix: Global colocation and interconnection giant operating Equinix Internet Exchange and Equinix Fabric. Comparable as interconnection infrastructure, though serving a much broader portfolio (data centers, cross-connects, cloud on-ramps) rather than specializing in neutral IXP services.

Others

• AIMS Data Centre: Malaysian data center operator that runs MyIX's NOC. Adjacent ecosystem participant providing hosting and infrastructure services to the same Malaysian internet ecosystem and member networks as MyIX.
