FG Set to Establish Nigerian IXP

Postby Richard Akindele » Thu Apr 20, 2006 9:46 pm

The Board of Nigerian Communications Commission has approved a proposal to fund the setting up of Internet eXchange Points (IXPs) in Nigeria.

The proposed IXPs which will operate on a not-for-profit basis, will be done by NCC in collaboration with the ISP community under the umbrella of Internet Service Providers Association of Nigeria (ISPAN) to achieve this objective.

The Internet is a network of interconnected computer networks and IXPs are the points at which multiple networks interconnect.

In the absence of domestic IXP, an Internet Service Provider (ISP) must send all outbound traffic through its international links, most commonly satellite. The aim of building a Nigerian IXP is to keep and interchange Nigerian internet traffic of e-mail, download of local website content, file transfers via ftp, etc within Nigeria and allow only international traffic to be exchanged at points outside Nigeria.
