What is a traffic exchange and how does it improve internet routing?

An internet exchange point, or IXP, is a physical facility where multiple networks meet to exchange traffic directly through peering arrangements rather than going through transit providers. The result is shorter paths, lower latency, and lower cost for traffic between participating networks. For data centers, presence at major IXPs is now a significant value driver.
