Know About NIXI

NIXI - National Information Exchange India

The National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) is the neutral meeting point of the ISPs in India. Its main purpose is to facilitate exchange of domestic Internet traffic between the peering ISP members. This enables more efficient use of international bandwidth, saving foreign exchange. It also improves the Quality of Services for the customers of member ISPs, by avoiding multiple international hops and thus reducing latency.

To speed the spread of the Internet in India, the cost of Internet connectivity and bandwidth must be reduced and the quality of service improved. One of the most effective mechanisms to accomplish both cost and service gains is the Internet Exchange Point (IXP). An IXP interconnects Internet service providers (ISPs) in a region or country, allowing them to exchange domestic Internet traffic locally without having to send those messages across multiple international hops to reach their destination.

  • NIXI is owned and managed by STPI. STPI has set-up Internet Exchange points in India.
  • NIXI enables all Indian ISPs peering with each other like VSNL, BSNL, RELIANCE, BHARTI etc.
  • This would enable exchange of domestic Internet Traffic within NIXI.
  • STPI has made available the infrastructure at four locations at NOIDA, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai.
  • Upcoming locations are Lucknow, Jaipur, Bangalore etc.
