What is an IXP?

An Internet Exchange Point (IX or IXP) is a physical infrastructure that allows different Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Content Distribution Networks (CDNs) to exchange Internet traffic between their networks by means of mutual peering agreements, which allow  traffic to be exchanged without cost.
