Search PeeringDB for Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) by country code or name.

An IXP is a physical location where ISPs and networks directly interconnect. Without IXPs, all traffic between two ISPs would travel via paid transit providers, costing more and adding latency. IXPs are the backbone of regional internet ecosystems.

Searching by country:

• Use 2-letter ISO country code: 'MU' (Mauritius), 'ZA' (South Africa), 'DE' (Germany), 'US' (United States), 'SG' (Singapore)

Searching by name:

• Partial name match: 'AMS-IX', 'LINX', 'Nairobi', 'Frankfurt'

Notable IXPs worldwide:

• DE-CIX Frankfurt (Germany) — Europe's busiest, 13+ Tbps

• AMS-IX (Netherlands) — 10+ Tbps

• LINX (UK) — London Internet Exchange

• JPNAP (Japan) — Asia-Pacific hub
