What is an Internet Exchange Point (IXP)?
An Internet Exchange Point (IXP) allows Internet Service Providers (ISPs), content delivery networks, and cloud infrastructure companies to exchange traffic directly rather than paying upstream transit carriers.
In India, the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) and carrier-neutral exchanges like Extreme IX provide the backbone for domestic data routing.
The Cost of International 'Tromboning'
Without domestic peering, traffic between a user on ISP A (e.g., Airtel in Delhi) and a server on ISP B (e.g., Jio in Mumbai) often 'trombones' through undersea cables to Singapore or Europe before returning to India, skyrocketing latency from 20ms to over 150ms.
Inside the Cloudlelo BGP Peering Fabric
Cloudlelo maintains active multi-gigabit BGP sessions with NIXI Delhi, Extreme IX Mumbai, and major Indian transit providers. This guarantees that traffic destined for any major Indian ISP routes over direct, sub-15ms domestic optical fiber.
