==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](/source/peering) and reduce dependency on expensive [internet transit links](/source/Internet_transit). In 2007, the InterLAN Association formalised its [corporate governance](/source/corporate_governance), and the exchange became fully operational as a [nonprofit organization](/source/nonprofit_organization).
InterLAN-IX joined the [European Internet Exchange Association](/source/European_Internet_Exchange_Association) (Euro-IX) as a full member in 2008 and became a member of the [RIPE NCC](/source/RIPE_NCC) in 2015, underscoring its commitment to industry best practices and the responsible management of [Internet number resources](/source/Regional_Internet_registry). Over the following decade, the exchange expanded its geographic footprint, adding [points of presence](/source/Point_of_presence) (PoPs) in [Bucharest](/source/Bucharest), [Arad](/source/Arad%2C_Romania), [Cluj-Napoca](/source/Cluj-Napoca), [Constanța](/source/Constan%C8%9Ba), [Craiova](/source/Craiova), [Gheorgheni](/source/Gheorgheni), [Iași](/source/Ia%C8%99i), [Sibiu](/source/Sibiu), [Suceava](/source/Suceava), [Târgu Secuiesc](/source/T%C3%A2rgu_Secuiesc), [Timișoara](/source/Timi%C8%99oara) and, later, [Frankfurt](/source/Frankfurt) and [Sofia](/source/Sofia).[{{cite web |title=InterLAN Internet Exchange Expands Internationally: New Presence Point Opened in a New City – InterLAN |url=https://www.interlan.ro/en/interlan-internet-exchange-expands-internationally-new-presence-point-opened-in-a-new-city/ |website=www.interlan.ro |access-date=21 April 2026}}]
In 2025, the IXP deployed a new [anycast](/source/anycast) [root name server](/source/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](/source/Root_name_server)).[{{cite web |title=InterLAN-IX deploys a new M-Root DNS root server instance in Romania – InterLAN |url=https://www.interlan.ro/en/interlan-ix-deploys-a-new-m-root-dns-root-server-instance-in-romania/ |website=www.interlan.ro |access-date=21 April 2026}}] It also established a new international point of presence in [Sofia](/source/Sofia), [Bulgaria](/source/Bulgaria) in January 2025, and in March 2025 it began hosting a [BGP](/source/Border_Gateway_Protocol) [Route Views](/source/Route_Views) collector in partnership with the [University of Oregon](/source/University_of_Oregon).[{{cite web |title=InterLAN-IX: Creștere record a traficului de date și noi parteneriate strategice |url=https://www.mediablog.ro/2025/03/interlan-ix-crestere-record-traficului.html |website=Mediablog |access-date=21 April 2026 |language=ro |date=16 April 2026}}]
