The Wikimedia Foundation operates several wiki-based projects, including Wikipedia, the popular on-line encyclopedia, which has become a global top-10 website. Wikimedia delivers its web site services from two separate, not directly connected networks:

  • AS14907 in the USA
  • AS43821 in Europe

Both networks are open to peering with other parties, on IPv4 and IPv6. Currently we have presence at the following Internet Exchange Points:

Donations

The Wikimedia Foundation is a not-for-profit charity that depends on the gracious donations by many individuals and companies. We operate on a very small budget, and our hosting and traffic costs represent a large part of our total costs associated with running our popular websites and achieving our goals. Please let us know if you are able and willing to contribute by donating network connectivity services!

Things that might be helpful include:

  • IP transit (full or partial)
  • Transport connectivity
  • A few RU of rack space for a router

If you are interested in helping out, then please contact us.
