Abstract: AMS-IX is a non-profit Internet Exchange based in Amsterdam. At 6 different co-locations around 300 members are connected to the AMS-IX Ethernet platform, exchanging up to 580Gbps of traffic at peak times.

This presentation will give an overview of the network architecture at the Amsterdam Internet Exchange. How could we cope with the increasing load over the past years and how is it possible to scale beyond 500Gbps these days? What kind of technologies and features are used within the network? Where are the limits of the current setup?
