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.

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 small budget, so 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.
