Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) allow ISPs to interconnect with one another in order to exchange internet traffic. IXPs are critical infrastructure that enable the internet to function. They provide a meeting point for ISPs to establish peering connections so they can exchange traffic between their networks in a cost effective manner, rather than relying on more expensive paid transit agreements. The document discusses the history and evolution of IXPs from early shared Ethernet exchanges to current high speed switched exchanges. It also covers IXP models, technical requirements for participants, and resources for further information.
