IXPs is a non-profit agency dedicated to planning, deploying, and operating internet exchange points globally — keeping the internet open, neutral, and fast for everyone.
From initial site survey to live peering sessions, we handle every aspect of internet exchange point lifecycle management on behalf of communities, governments, and network operators worldwide.
Our Network Operations Centers maintain round-the-clock surveillance of all internet exchange infrastructure, ensuring sub-second incident response and maximum uptime for every peering fabric.
We deploy and manage redundant route servers using BIRD and OpenBGPd, enforcing IRR-based prefix filtering and RPKI validation to ensure routing security across all member ASNs.
Real-time and historical traffic analysis powered by sFlow, NetFlow v9, and IPFIX. Gain granular per-port, per-ASN, and per-prefix visibility with customizable dashboards and automated reporting.
Architect high-availability peering LANs using 100G/400G Ethernet fabrics with redundant switching, VLAN isolation, and EVPN-VXLAN overlays tailored for colocation data center environments.
Multi-layered security architecture including BGP blackholing (RTBH), Flowspec-based mitigation, anti-spoofing via BCP38, and real-time MANRS compliance monitoring to protect the peering fabric.
Streamlined member lifecycle management covering LOA processing, port provisioning, BGP session configuration, route policy setup, and automated NOC notifications through our IXPs Manager integration.
ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning), Ansible-driven configuration management, and CI/CD pipelines for network changes reduce human error and accelerate the deployment of new exchange nodes.
Predictive capacity modeling using ML-driven traffic forecasting, ensuring your peering fabric scales ahead of demand curves. We deliver growth roadmaps covering port density, power, cooling, and cabling.
Automated invoicing, usage-based billing, and a self-service member portal powered by IXP Manager, giving your members full visibility into port utilization, BGP sessions, and route server prefixes.
Whether you're launching a new internet exchange point or operating an existing one, IXPs delivers the full spectrum of technical management and advisory services at no profit.
Our team conducts a thorough analysis of the regional ISP ecosystem, traffic demand, existing infrastructure, and colocation options. We produce a detailed feasibility report with cost modeling.
We design the complete network architecture: switching topology, BGP policy framework, peering LAN addressing, route server configuration, security posture, and redundancy model.
Hardware is sourced, racked, and cabled in the chosen colocation facility. All systems are configured, tested, and validated against our security and performance baselines before any member traffic is accepted.
Founding members are provisioned with cross-connects, BGP sessions are established, and route server peering is configured. IXPs handles all LOA processing and PeeringDB record management on the member's behalf.
The exchange node goes live with full NOC coverage. We continuously optimize routing, grow the membership base, and provide detailed monthly governance reports to the USIDC board or steering committee.
IXPs manages and consults on core network nodes across six continents, bringing local peering ecosystems to life and connecting regional networks to the global internet.
IXPs' live NOC dashboard gives members and exchange operators instant visibility into active BGP sessions, port utilization, and route server prefix counts.
All exchange nodes managed by IXPs publish real-time telemetry via our open API, compatible with PeeringDB, IX-F JSON, and RIPE NCC's IXP database. Our engineers monitor BGP session stability, per-port traffic utilization, RPKI validity, and IRR filter coverage 24 hours a day.
