A discussion was held at APRICOT 2017 to gather input on conducting regular data collection and benchmarking of internet exchange points (IXPs). The discussion highlighted presentations from New Zealand Registry Services (NZRS) on the importance of IXP data collection and from the Euro-IX Benchmarking Club on their IXP benchmarking activities in Europe. Next steps include gauging interest from APIX and APNIC members in collaboratively conducting regular IXP data gathering and benchmarking in the region.
