9 Role of Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) are now well recognised as a vital part of the Internet ecosystem and essential for facilitating a robust domestic ICT sector*. A primary role of an IXP is to: Keep local Internet traffic within local infrastructure and to reduce costs associated with traffic exchange between networks. Improve the quality of Internet services and drive demand by reducing delay and improving end-user experience. Create a favorable environment for local Internet infrastructure and service development e.g. local content and shared services. Act as a catalyst for overall Internet development through knowledge sharing and capacity building. * See for example, the OECD s recent report on Internet Traffic Exchange:
