The NIX network is a layer-2
infrastructure on two separate switch fabric across NIX
locations. Currently operating locations are:
- Ikeja NIX Colo - Ikeja
- Nitel Colo (NET House) -
Lagos Island
- Medallion Colo - Victoria
Island
Each location has two foundry
switches connecting separate peering LANs. The primary peering
LAN is interconnected on a 1 gigabit circuit (fibre), while the
secondary peering LAN is interconnected on a 450 megabit
wireless backhaul.
Two of the three operating
locations have route servers in place.
All the NIX switches provide
10/100BaseTX switched ethernet and 1000BaseSX gigabit ethernet
over multimode fibre connections.
