IXP Data Analysis

Large Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) are responsible for exchanging more than 25 Petabytes of data daily but have received very little attention from the research community. We have established a pioneer research project to assess the importance of IXPs for today's Internet ecosystem. Our measurement results show that large IXPs are unique vantage points to observe trends in peering and routing, content delivery, Internet services and applications, and revisit AS-level view of the Internet.
