is a division of the Internet Service Providers’ Association (ISPA) of South Africa. We currently operate three Internet exchange points, namely the Johannesburg Internet exchange and INXes a mechanism for ISPs members to connect their networks and exchange traffic. The exchanges encourage the local routing of Internet traffic not destined for international locations.
the only neutral facility for ISPs and operators of Internet Protocol (IP) networks to connect and exchange traffic (peer) in South Africa. Peering encourage the routing of domestic Internet traffic by providing an optimal path for traffic to reach other networks within the same city, country or continent. This reduces the usage of expensive long-distance links and improves network performance.
Connecting to any of the INXs is easy, and open to any network that has its own IP address space and an autonomous system number.
