Meet-me rooms and fibre diversity in Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg

Reading order

Start with the building, not with the city name. Ask how many diverse entries exist, who owns them, and which meet-me room sits in this hall rather than in a campus next door. The inland-backhaul page already writes that first step for halls outside the metro. This page repeats it because a Netnod city slide is not a second entry. A hall in Kista, Sköndal or Slakthusgatan is not interchangeable with a hall that only sits in the same municipality.

Then name the exchange and the on-net list as two objects. Netnod’s Stockholm page says connection is possible from any location in the city, and that the listed PoPs are the easiest and fastest way. Easiest is not the same as present in this hall. Gothenburg’s published on-net list on the cited PoP page is one site. Malmö’s published on-net list on that page is one site, VG4, inside a Copenhagen/Malmö exchange that also names two Copenhagen halls. A Copenhagen on-net hall is not a Malmö building entry.

Only then read the city market sentences. Stokab’s cited pages describe an open Stockholm fibre network. PTS’s mobile-coverage and broadband mapping is a national coverage paper. It is not a meet-me room. Equinix’s Stockholm pages, Digital Realty’s Stockholm pages and STACK’s Stockholm page remain operator descriptions already used elsewhere in this register. They do not fill a missing second entry in Gothenburg or Malmö.

• Building entries and the in-hall meet-me room before any city exchange.
• Keep Stockholm’s on-net list off Gothenburg’s single published PoP.
• A Copenhagen hall is not a Malmö entry.
• The inland-backhaul page already owns halls outside the metro.

What a city meet-me file actually is

A meet-me room is a room in a building where named carriers can cross-connect. A Netnod Internet exchange is a layer-2 peering fabric that may be present in that room, or only reachable over a metro path from that room. Netnod’s Stockholm page writes both facts: presence at major data centres, and connection from any Stockholm location. Those two sentences are why an on-net list is not a census of every hall’s meet-me room.

Diversity is a path question, not a logo question. Two carriers in one duct are not two entries. Two entries that join before the meet-me room are not two paths. Netnod’s Copenhagen page writes fibres on both sides of the Öresund bridge and a separate sea-cable path. That is an exchange-fabric redundancy sentence. It is not a second entry into VG4, and it is not a Stokab duct in Stockholm.

The three cities are three published footprints. Stockholm has the longest on-net list on the cited PoP page and Stokab’s open-network description. Gothenburg has one named on-net site on that page. Malmö is published as one Swedish on-net site inside a Copenhagen/Malmö exchange that also names Taastrup and Interxion Copenhagen, with Netnod’s own sentence of more than 60 networks and more than 450 gigabits per second. Those exchange volumes are not a hall’s contracted ports. The page also writes port speeds from 1 to 400 gigabits per second. A port-speed menu is not a cross-connect inventory.

PTS mapping and operator IBX pages stay neighbouring files. A national broadband map does not locate a meet-me room. Equinix SK1 and SK2, Digital Realty Stockholm and STACK Stockholm remain operator location pages. Bahnhof’s Gothenburg bunker news already in this register is an operator capacity sentence. It is not a Netnod PoP and not a second entry invented from a press megawatt.

What named primary sources show

Netnod’s Stockholm page shows the largest-Nordic and highest-traffic-per-peer sentences and the any-location connection sentence. The PoP page shows the named Stockholm on-net halls, Gothnet at Slakthusgatan 5, and the Copenhagen/Malmö trio of Taastrup, Interxion Copenhagen and VG4 Malmö. Netnod’s Copenhagen page shows the two-city fabric, the Öresund-plus-sea-cable redundancy, more than 60 networks, more than 450 gigabits per second, and the 1-to-400-gigabit port menu.

Stokab’s cited pages show an open Stockholm fibre network. PTS mapping pages show national coverage work. They do not show a hall meet-me room. Equinix, Digital Realty and STACK Stockholm pages remain operator location descriptions.

Related pages already in this register: the parent connectivity note and inland backhaul. atNorth SWE01, Bahnhof Pionen and GleSYS Stockholm remain metro operator descriptions. They are not a second Gothenburg or Malmö entry.

A matrix instead of one three-city room

The table is a permission table. A filled cell is a claim the named URL can carry. An empty cell means this page will not invent the missing second entry or the missing Malmö municipal fibre census.

Do not paste Stockholm’s on-net list onto Gothenburg’s single published PoP, and do not treat a Copenhagen hall as a Malmö building entry.

Common misreads

The first misread is to treat a Netnod city page as a meet-me room inside the hall under discussion. The second is to treat Stockholm’s on-net list as proof that a Kista or Arlandastad hall has two diverse entries. The third is to treat Gothenburg as a smaller Stockholm. The cited PoP page names one Gothenburg on-net site.

The fourth is to treat VG4 as interchangeable with Taastrup or Interxion Copenhagen. The fifth is to treat 450 gigabits per second as a hall contract. The sixth is to fill a missing second entry from a PTS map or from Stokab’s Stockholm description.

What to ask next

If a brief prints a three-city meet-me room, ask which named URL uses that room for a building entry, an in-hall cross-connect, a Netnod on-net PoP or only a city exchange slogan. If the URL only shows a Stockholm list or a Copenhagen volume, the brief has already left the source.

Then open the parent connectivity note and the inland-backhaul page. Those pages already own the metro-versus-inland split and the first-entry questions. This page only asks whether the three city footprints stay on their own rows.

1. How many diverse building entries are named for this hall?
2. Is the meet-me room in this hall, or only in a campus next door?
3. Which Netnod footprint is in play — Stockholm, Gothenburg or Copenhagen/Malmö?
4. Has a Copenhagen on-net hall been treated as a Malmö entry?
5. Has a second entry been filled from a PoP list?

What this does and does not prove

This page proves that Netnod already publishes different on-net lists for Stockholm, Gothenburg and Copenhagen/Malmö, and that a city exchange is not a building entry. It proves that Malmö is sourced as one Swedish on-net site inside a two-city fabric.

It does not prove how many entries a named hall has. It does not invent a Gothenburg twin of Stokab. It does not treat 450 gigabits per second as a hall contract.

Empty cells stay empty. Until a later primary source names a hall’s meet-me room with dated entries and a boundary, the diversity stays a method, not a census.
