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 autonomous systems:

  • AS14907 in the USA
  • AS43821 in Europe

Both networks are open to peering with other parties, on IPv4 and IPv6 and have presence at multiple Internet Exchange Points. Up-to-date information about the facilities and IXPs that we are present in, as well as peering information can be found on our PeeringDB page.
