GNM, a backbone provider with its own GNM-IX Internet Exchange Network, continued its expansion in 2024, strengthening its backbone infrastructure, improving interconnection capabilities, and reinforcing its role as a trusted partner for ISPs, data centers, and enterprises across Europe and beyond.
Strengthening Backbone Infrastructure
GNM’s DWDM backbone now spans 18,000 km across 19 countries, with the total Points of Presence (PoPs) reaching 79, including 10 new locations in major European data centers.
The deployment of new DWDM rings in Central Europe—connecting Frankfurt, Berlin, Warsaw, Prague, Bratislava, Vienna, Munich, Stuttgart, and Katowice—improves redundancy and reduces latency across key network hubs. Additionally, the completion of a 1,200-km DWDM fiber link between Stockholm and Berlin reduced latency to 12 milliseconds, supporting the demand for low-latency, high-capacity transport solutions.
“Our continued expansion ensures high-performance, resilient connectivity solutions that meet the evolving demands of ISPs, cloud providers, and enterprises,” said Alex Surkoff, Business Development Director at GNM.
GNM-IX: Scaling Peering and Traffic Growth
GNM-IX surpassed 600 ASNs across 80 locations, with peak traffic reaching 8.7 Tbps by the end of 2024, and already exceeding 9 Tbps in early 2025. New connections in key data centers further optimize traffic exchange efficiency for ISPs, content providers, and cloud platforms.
Infrastructure and Security Enhancements
- Total port capacity: 384.3 Tbps, with 7,054 active ports
- IPv4 prefixes: 158,578 | IPv6 prefixes: 61,975 (10% growth)
- DDoS mitigation: Thousands of attacks prevented in 2024
- Peak attack volume: 100–150 Gbps
- 53% targeted GNM-IX, 47% targeted IP Transit
- Top attack vectors: UDP flood (39%), IP fragmentation (36%), DNS Amplification (7%)
To combat evolving threats, GNM utilizes Arbor TMS filtering technology, ensuring automated detection and mitigation for stable network performance.
