Valencia · Venezuela
PeeringDB records one exchange in Valencia, NAPVE VLN, the city's best connected with 15 participants, and one colocation facility, Daycohost - Valencia, carrying two networks. That is the whole of the city's registry entry. An address geolocating to Valencia shows where an operator registered the block rather than where a device is connected.
Internet exchanges in Valencia
An exchange is a shared switch where networks hand traffic to each other directly. Participant counts come from PeeringDB, where each network maintains its own record.
| Exchange | Participants | Registry carriers peering |
|---|---|---|
NAPVE VLN | 15 | none in the registry |
Exchange records: PeeringDB.
Colocation facilities
Buildings where networks put equipment. The network count is how many PeeringDB members list a presence there, which shows where capacity in the city sits.
| Facility | Networks present | Address |

| Daycohost - Valencia | 2 | Av Domingo Olavarria c/c Hans Neumann |
What a Valencia IP address tells you
Valencia's public peering runs through NAPVE VLN and its 15 participants, the shortest participant list of the three Venezuelan exchange records in this set, with Caracas at 16 and Maracaibo at 20. Colocation adds little to that picture. Daycohost - Valencia is the only facility PeeringDB lists in the city and it reports two networks, so the exchange participant list is where the routing weight sits. No Venezuelan mobile ASNs appear in the carrier registry, so the data cannot say whether a mobile operator peers at NAPVE VLN.
An address geolocates to Valencia because the operator's registry record says Valencia and geolocation databases copy that field. The record covers a whole block, sometimes one far wider than the city. Mobile operators route subscriber traffic through a few gateways, so the address a phone presents can belong to a gateway registered somewhere else. Fifteen exchange participants and two facility networks give a thin base for reading anything more precise into the city name.
The origin ASN and the netname on the exact prefix answer more than the city label does. The ASN identifies the network announcing the range, and the netname shows the organization that registered it, which separates a mobile allocation from a colocation range at a facility such as Daycohost - Valencia. Prefix length helps as well, since a small block registered to a local network reads differently from a slice of a national allocation.
Questions
Which internet exchanges are in Valencia, Venezuela?
PeeringDB records one, NAPVE VLN, with 15 participants. Alongside it the registry lists a single colocation facility, Daycohost - Valencia, with two networks. Nothing else appears for the city, so its documented connectivity is that exchange plus the one facility.
Do Venezuelan mobile carriers peer in Valencia?
No Venezuelan mobile ASNs appear in the carrier registry, so there is no operator number to match against the NAPVE VLN participant list. The data does not show mobile carriers peering in Valencia and does not show them absent either.
Does an IP that geolocates to Valencia mean the device is there?
No. The city on an address comes from the operator's own published record for the block, which geolocation databases follow. A mobile address can route through a gateway in another city, so the Valencia label reads as a registration detail.
