Detroit Internet Exchange

What Is An Internet Exchange?
The Detroit Internet Exchange (DET-IX) is a regional Internet Exchange Point (IXP) that was launched in 2015. The Internet exchange point (IXP) is where networks come together to peer or exchange traffic.

While they allow network operators to exchange traffic with other network operators, an exchange point will not sell you a complete Internet connectivity. They are, instead, one of the building blocks around which the Internet is built. When connecting to a major peering hub it greatly reduces traffic a provider must purchase from an upstream provider. The best part is that membership is free!

Who Connects To Them?
Any network that wants to peer with other networks can connect to an exchange point. Traditionally, this meant Internet service providers (ISPs) but with the growing need for connections to alternative providers like content and advertising, companies are connecting to exchanges. These companies are peering with ISPs to get their content to their customer base.
