 This section discusses how we scale multiple peerings with our network, using what is known as an Internet Exchange Point.

 Internet Exchange Points are open neutral interconnects where network operators (with their own Internet resources) are able to freely interconnect. An IXP is the most efficient and effective way of scaling interconnections between network operators in any one location.
-Lots of information about IXPs is available from many locations, including the [[https://www.euro-ix.net/|Euro-IX]] website, the [[https://ixpdb.euro-ix.net/|IXPDB]], as well as in the links noted at the foot of the page.

 The section describes how to participate at an Internet Exchange Point. The description is high level as each and every IXP will have their own nuances, variations on the general theme. Discussion with the IXP operator is important to understand their requirements.
-We won't discuss why joining an IXP is important - the Value of Peering has already covered why peering is essential for a network operator's business.

 Nor will we discuss which IXP to join - there are many factors involved, but common advice is to join the "local IXP" as that will host network operators with similar common interest, content, and customers, and likely will give the best peering opportunities.
