This dashboard tracks Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) across Asia Pacific — the neutral facilities where networks interconnect to exchange traffic directly. IXP density and peering capacity shape regional connectivity, content delivery performance, and low-latency access to cloud and AI inference workloads. Whether you're evaluating markets in Asia Pacific for data center investment, planning cross-border connectivity, or researching infrastructure to support latency-sensitive applications, this live data from PeeringDB provides the foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Internet Exchange? ▾
An Internet Exchange (IX) is where multiple networks connect to exchange traffic directly, rather than routing through third parties. This reduces costs, improves performance, and lowers latency for end users.
IXs are typically housed in carrier-neutral data centers where no single network has control, creating a level playing field for all participants. Networks connect via switches and exchange traffic through peering agreements. A single IX may have a physical presence in multiple facilities across a region.
What is the source of this data? ▾
IX infrastructure data on this page is sourced from PeeringDB, a freely available database of networks and interconnection facilities maintained by the global network operator community. PeeringDB data is self-reported by network operators and facility owners and is updated continuously.
How many Internet Exchanges are in Asia Pacific? ▾
As of the latest data, Asia Pacific has 207 Internet Exchanges present across 422 facilities, with 3,327 unique networks physically connected across 23 countries.
These numbers are updated monthly from PeeringDB. See the chart above for historical trends.

Why does Internet Exchange infrastructure matter for Asia Pacific? ▾
The physical location of Internet Exchanges directly impacts network performance, cost, and resilience for users and businesses in Asia Pacific:
- Latency: Regional IXs keep local traffic local, reducing round-trip times for end users
- Cost: Direct peering at local IXs reduces transit costs for ISPs across Asia Pacific
- Resilience: Multiple interconnection points prevent single points of failure
- Economic development: IXs attract network investment, data centers, and digital businesses to the region
Without sufficient regional IXs, traffic may be routed through distant cities or continents, adding latency and cost.
Why are internet exchanges important for AI inference? ▾
Real-time inference and edge inference workloads require the lowest possible latency to deliver instant responses. Internet exchanges provide direct peering between networks, minimizing the number of network hops and reducing round-trip time. This is critical for real-time inference applications like conversational AI and autonomous vehicles, as well as edge inference deployments that process data closer to end users rather than in centralized cloud data centers.
Which are the largest IX organizations in Asia Pacific? ▾
