Open Peering
The Metro Ethernet service of Open Peering can be used to make a wirespeed and unlimited 100 Mbit/s, 1 Gbit/s or 10 Gbit/s standard ethernet connection between all relevant neutral datacenters in and around Amsterdam at a very low, flat rate, cost. The service is available both as layer3 (to connect routers) and as layer2 (to connect switches) link. Metro Ethernet can only be used for standard ethernet and not to transport traffic types like dot1.q VLAN ethernet trunks, MPLS or SDH. For such applications the Metro Wave and Metro Fiber services are better suited. A Metro Ethernet starts at € 200 per month (and € 500 install) for 100 Mbit/s and at € 500 per month (and € 1.000 install) for 1 Gbit/s (3 year contracts).
