About INSTA-IX
Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) are the infrastructure layer that keeps internet traffic efficient. Rather than routing packets through expensive international transit links, an IXP allows networks to exchange traffic directly — reducing latency, lowering costs, and improving resilience.
INSTA-IX was established by INIC Communications as part of our commitment to building robust internet infrastructure in central India. It is registered with the appropriate regulatory bodies and listed on PeeringDB — the standard directory used by ISPs, CDNs, and enterprises worldwide to discover peering opportunities.
We operate an open peering policy. Any technically qualified network can peer with INSTA-IX. CDN operators, content networks, and ISPs who serve Indian users are especially encouraged to connect — the benefits to end-user latency are measurable and immediate.
