9. What are the benefits of an IXP?
• Reduction of a network's operational costs
• Keeping traffic local and decreasing latency (i.e. faster)
• Better control and more autonomy of networks’ own
resources
• More stability and robustness for the local Internet
• Enable competition by supporting new market entrants

10. Developing IXPs in an Economy
• By phase
– Capital city first for keeping intra-economy traffic within the economy
– Provincial capital cities next for improving performance when traffic warrants
– Local cities finally based on needs
• Should open for all networks which have ASNs and portable IP addresses
• Having presence at multiple major data centers for easier connections
– Should also allow remote Ethernet connections
• Should always keep these in mind:
– Stability
– Scalability
– Security

11. Security Outreach
