List of Internet exchange points by size

This is a list of Internet exchange networks by size, measured by peak data rate (throughput), with additional data on location, establishment and average throughput. No

Generally only exchanges with more than ten gigabits per second peak 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 and China is hard to come by. Examples of large peering points without public data are NAP of the Americas or PacketExchange. Neither is it any longer authoritative, as companies aggregate their data capacity. For example, as of 2024, the top two entries each contained data for about 40 separate locations, in one case on four different continents.
