List of Internet exchange points by size

This is a list of Internet Exchange Points by size, measured by peak incoming data rate (throughput), with additional data on location, establishment and average throughput.

Generally only exchanges with more than one gigabit per second throughput have been taken into consideration. The numbers in the list represent switched traffic only (no private interconnects) and are rounded to whole gigabits. Take into consideration that traffic on each exchange point can change quickly, and be seasonal.

This list is not exhaustive, as it includes only exchanges willing to make traffic data public on their website. Particularly data of IXPs from the United States is hard to come by. Examples of large peering points without public data are FreeIX, NAP of the Americas or PacketExchange.
