Welcome to LONAP

LONAP is a neutral not-for-profit Internet Exchange Point based in London (UK) which has facilitated traffic interchange ("peering") between its members since 1997. We operate a network of interconnected Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches at core sites connected to each other through a diverse 10 Gbps fibre ring. We aim to provide a professionally run, uncongested peering fabric which helps lower interconnection costs between service providers and other network operators who connect to us.

We operate in four sites in the London Docklands area:

• Telehouse Docklands, North
• Telehouse Docklands, East
• Telecity Sovereign House
• Telecity Harbour Exchange, Building 6-7

We operate multiple VLANs including an IPv4 Unicast, IPv4 Multicast and IPv6 Unicast VLANs. We also provide members with private VLANs between each other if required.

In addition to these sites, you may be able to connect to LONAP via a third party layer 2 network, fibre or wavelength. Please contact us with details of your location and we will advise you of your options.
