Internet traffic exchange between two participants on an IXP is facilitated by Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing configurations between them. They choose to announce routes via the peering relationship – either routes to their own addresses or routes to addresses of other ISPs that they connect to, possibly via other mechanisms.
This is a list of Internet exchange points . There are several sources for IXP locations, including Packet Clearing House , who have maintained the earliest list of IXPs, with global coverage since 1994.
This is a list of Internet exchange networks by size, measured by peak data rate (), with additional data on location, establishment and average throughput.No Generally only exchanges with more than ten gigabits per second peak throughput have been taken into consideration.
The MAE (later, MAE-East) was the first Internet Exchange Point (IXP). It began in 1992 with four locations in Washington, D.C., quickly extended to Vienna, Reston, and Ashburn, Virginia; and then subsequently to New York and Miami.
The London Internet Exchange (LINX) is an Internet exchange point (IXP) providing peering to over 950 different autonomous systems (ASNs).

Detroit Internet Exchange ("DET-iX") is a nonprofit 501(c)(6) Internet exchange point (IXP) located in Southfield, Michigan. It was founded in 2014 to help establish peering for local and regional Internet service providers. DET-iX currently has 67 members and 81 connections, [1] with a maximum peak transfer speed of 1866.9 Gbit/s. [2]
The first attempt at an IXP in Nigeria - Ibadan Internet Exchange (Ib-IX) - was in 2003. This was a layer-2 infrastructure, precisely, a 24-port 10/100 Mbit/s switch and a route server with two Ibadan based ISPs – SKANNET and Steineng Ltd- as members. The maximum recorded traffic between these two ISPs was about 1 MB.
As at Sep 2016, the three Internet exchange points mentioned above are all managed through a community elected set of representatives that act in the best of interests of the IXP. While voting is limited to IXP participants, eligibility to be on the management committee is open to any natural person, and not just IXP participants.
