Fostering Sustainable Peering Infrastructure

We build and develop IXPs as part of a thriving peering ecosystem. We have evidence that IXPs do help in providing better and more resilient Internet service, and supports a more engaged, and better equipped, network community. We take advantage of our global reach and our position as a neutral partner that is trusted by communities, private sector, and governments to contribute to a healthy, open, and sustainable peering ecosystem. We provide technical expertise and financial support as needed to our partners. Our work is offset by a varied list of contributors.
