Why does peering at an IXP reduce costs and improve performance?

Peering replaces transit-based traffic, which is paid per gigabit, with direct exchange that is typically free or much cheaper after a one-time setup. Performance improves because traffic takes the shortest possible path between networks rather than routing through one or more transit provider backbones. Both effects compound at scale, making IXP participation increasingly attractive.
