THINX is a Polish Internet Exchange operated by Atman, with its main node in the Atman/Thinx Poland data center in Warsaw. It is a shared layer-2 fabric where operators, content providers and online platforms set up BGP sessions with one another and exchange traffic close to its source, instead of carrying it through distant exchanges in Western Europe.
THINX in numbers and reach
THINX brings together more than 150 members (around 180 ASNs) and carries roughly 1 Tb/s of traffic. The main node sits in Warsaw, but access to the fabric is available in about 12 Polish cities through distributed access nodes connected over an Nx10G backbone. A regional operator can therefore join the Warsaw exchange without having to haul its own link all the way to the capital.
Presence at THINX gives a network several concrete benefits:
- Lower latency for communication between Polish networks.
- Keeping domestic traffic inside Poland, without detours through Frankfurt or Amsterdam.
- Lower cost, because peering traffic is usually not billed by volume the way transit is.
- Greater resilience thanks to an additional path independent of transit.
Open peering and route servers
THINX runs on an open peering model: members exchange traffic with Polish networks, European content providers and global portals. Route servers running under AS24748 let a new participant quickly gain broad multilateral connectivity instead of building dozens of separate bilateral sessions. Ports are available at speeds from 1G to 100G, so capacity fits both smaller regional operators and large, high-volume networks.
Connecting and peering with AS202520 SkyPass
AS202520 SkyPass is present at THINX and runs an active, open peering policy there. You can set up a session with us through the THINX route servers for broad multilateral reach, or directly as private peering with key partners. Traffic between your network and AS202520 SkyPass then stays inside Poland, which means lower latency, savings on transit and an additional, redundant path. For operators without their own port in Warsaw, we offer remote access to THINX through our infrastructure.
Frequently asked questions
What is THINX?
THINX is a Polish Internet Exchange operated by Atman, with its main node in Warsaw. It brings together more than 150 members (around 180 ASNs) and carries roughly 1 Tb/s of traffic, letting networks exchange traffic directly and bypass transit.
How do I peer with AS202520 SkyPass at THINX?
AS202520 SkyPass is present at THINX and runs an open peering policy. You can set up a session through the THINX route servers (AS24748) for multilateral connectivity or directly as private peering, and for operators without a port in Warsaw we offer remote access.
Why should a Polish ISP peer at THINX?
Peering at THINX keeps domestic traffic inside Poland, lowers latency between Polish networks, reduces cost compared with transit and adds a redundant path. Access is available in about 12 cities, so a regional operator can join without its own link to Warsaw.
