It is operated by ISNIC, the same organisation that oversees the registration of Iceland's ccTLD, '.is'.
Its primary site, RIX-TG, is located at Tæknigarður (The Centre for Technical Innovation), part of the University of Iceland.
It offers peering at port speeds of 1Gbs/10Gbs/100Gbs using mix of Cisco and Juniper switch fabrics.
RIX is currently Iceland's only neutral policy internet exchange and is a member of the European Internet Exchange Association, Euro-IX.
RIX has seen a large portion of its traffic offloaded since 2021 as four major Icelandic ISPs as well as RÚV started to peer at a new private exchange, Múli-IXP, which is operated by Vodafone Iceland, hosted in a Síminn facility (Ármúli 25), which also hosts one of the RIX sites.
