Internet Exchange Lookup — IX Notes Workspace
Client-side IX paste-in workspace — asn-peering-lookup for ASN prefix context
How to Use This Tool
- Paste IX participant lists, PeeringDB exports, or route server notes into the textarea.
- Click Transform for local generic-text processing in browser.
- Output preserves input for IX research documentation.
- Copy organized notes into peering request templates.
- Run asn-peering-lookup on individual ASNs for bgp-route prefix context.
- Cross-reference IX MAC addresses and peering VLAN notes separately.
About This Tool
Internet exchange points — DE-CIX, AMS-IX, Equinix IX, and regional fabrics — connect networks for peering and traffic exchange. Peering coordinators maintain spreadsheets of IX presence, port speeds, and ASN participants discovered through PeeringDB, IX looking glasses, and conference notes. VSPIC internet-exchange-lookup uses MissingClientWidgets generic-text kind from missing-tools-handlers.generated.ts — local textarea for IX research paste-ins without server upload.
This page does not query IX participant APIs, PeeringDB facilities, or live route servers. For ASN registry and announced prefix snapshots, use asn-peering-lookup or bgp-route-lookup with bgp-route action. Paste IX looking glass output and PeeringDB exports here for organized documentation.
Common use cases
- •Inspect HTTP headers and user-agent strings
- •Analyze email headers for phishing investigation
- •Generate strong passwords for staging environments
Why use VSPIC for ?
- Browser-only IX research workspace — no server upload.
- Copy-friendly output for peering desk tickets.
- Pairs with asn-peering-lookup for ASN prefix verification.
- Free after page load — no account required.
- Organize multi-IX presence notes in one panel.
- Sensitive peering strategy notes stay on device until copied.
Internet exchanges in peering workflows
IXPs provide neutral Layer-2 fabrics where ASNs peer bilaterally or via route servers. PeeringDB documents which networks claim presence at which facilities — our page organizes pasted research, not live IX API queries.
Run asn-peering-lookup on candidate ASNs to verify prefix holdings before requesting IX cross-connects.
MissingClientWidgets generic-text kind
internet-exchange-lookup maps to type client, kind generic-text. ToolUiShell with Textarea and Transform — no extended API handler per missing-tools-handlers.generated.ts.
Relationship to asn-peering-lookup
asn-peering-lookup calls bgp-route for ASN registry and prefix samples. internet-exchange-lookup collates IX-specific pasted notes — facility IDs, port speeds, bilateral session status.
Use both when drafting peering requests: prefix proof from bgp-route, IX context from pasted PeeringDB rows here.
PeeringDB and looking glass follow-up
Export PeeringDB network detail JSON or copy looking glass tables into this workspace. Annotate last-verified date — IX participation changes with acquisitions.
Route server prefix counts differ from BGP global table — document source in notes.
IX LAN and MAC context
IX peering VLANs use allocated MAC addresses per port — document in notes separately. mac-address-lookup resolves OUI for IX switch infrastructure when needed.
Future IX API handlers
Dedicated IX lookup APIs may replace placeholder generic-text handler. Content will update when registry changes.
Privacy
Peering strategy notes may be commercially sensitive. Client-side processing on this page — clear textarea on shared workstations.
Important notes & limitations
- Does not query internet exchange databases or PeeringDB APIs.
- No live IX route server or looking glass integration on this slug.
- generic-text passthrough — no automatic ASN or prefix parsing.
- IX participant data freshness depends on sources you paste.
- Not a replacement for PeeringDB or IX portal authoritative records.
