Danish Internet Exchange Point

Danish Internet Exchange Point (DIX) is operated by UNI•C in Kongens Lyngby north of Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.

Its purpose is to alleviate the exchange of data traffic between networks that constitute the Danish part of the global Internet structure. The DIX was established in May 1994 and has most of the Danish Internet service providers connected.
