InterLAN Internet Exchange (InterLAN-IX) is a neutral, distributed Internet exchange point (IXP) that serves as the largest interconnection platform in Romania. It is operated by the Interlan Association, a nonprofit organization of Romanian Internet service providers (ISPs) and is headquartered in Bucharest.

The Interlan Association has over 50 member companies ensuring that the Internet exchange point remains neutral, with any surplus reinvested into network infrastructure and service development. The exchange is an active participant in the European IXP community through its membership in European Internet Exchange Association (Euro-IX) and in the RIPE NCC. It also helps organise the Romanian Network Operators Group and regularly participates in international peering events such as the UAE-IX Peering Workshop and Euro-IX Peering Days.

History

The InterLAN-IX was founded in 2005. From its inception, the exchange was designed as a neutral, community‑driven platform to enable local peering and reduce dependency on expensive internet transit links. In 2007, the InterLAN Association formalised its corporate governance, and the exchange became fully operational as a nonprofit organization.

InterLAN-IX joined the European Internet Exchange Association (Euro-IX) as a full member in 2008 and became a member of the RIPE NCC in 2015, underscoring its commitment to industry best practices and the responsible management of Internet number resources. Over the following decade, the exchange expanded its geographic footprint, adding points of presence (PoPs) in Bucharest, Arad, Cluj-Napoca, Constanța, Craiova, Gheorgheni, Iași, Sibiu, Suceava, Târgu Secuiesc, Timișoara and, later, Frankfurt and Sofia.

In 2025, the IXP deployed a new anycast root name server M-Root instance, becoming one of the few IXPs to host multiple root server instances (D‑Root, E‑Root, F‑Root, K‑Root, L‑Root and M‑Root). It also established a new international point of presence in Sofia, Bulgaria in January 2025, and in March 2025 it began hosting a BGP Route Views collector in partnership with the University of Oregon.
