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

Venezuela 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.
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 Brazil? ▾
As of the latest data, Brazil has 49 Internet Exchanges present across 175 facilities, with 1,223 unique networks physically connected.
These numbers are updated monthly from PeeringDB. See the chart above for historical trends.
Why does Internet Exchange location matter for Brazil? ▾
The physical location of Internet Exchanges directly impacts network performance, cost, and resilience for users and businesses in Brazil:
- Latency: Local IXs keep Brazil traffic local, reducing round-trip times
- Cost: Direct peering at local IXs reduces transit costs for ISPs
- Resilience: Multiple local interconnection points prevent single points of failure
- Economic development: IXs attract network investment, data centers, and digital businesses
Without sufficient local IXs, traffic may be routed through distant cities or countries, 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 Brazil? ▾
The largest Internet Exchange organizations in Brazil by number of IXs operated include:
- NIC.br — 39 IXs, 2,428 peers
- Equinix, Inc. — 45 IXs, 1,959 peers
- DE-CIX Group AG — 27 IXs, 1,533 peers
- BGP.Exchange — 52 IXs, 496 peers
- NetIX Communications JSC — 2 IXs, 149 peers
