Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Computer Science, Technology
Mission: The organization through its volunteers operates an internet exchange point in hanover county, virginia. An internet exchange point (ixp) is a physical infrastructure that allows different internet service providers (isps) to exchange internet traffic between their networks by means of mutual peering arrangements, which allow traffic to be exchanged without cost or at low cost. Ixps reduce the portion of an isp's traffic which must be deliverd via their upstream transit providers, thereby reducing the cost of their service. In addition, the increased number of paths learned through the ixp improves routing efficiency and fault tolerance, thus providing a direct benefit to the consumers that receive internet service from the participating isps. The organization welcomes as members all legal entity types: government, non-government, educational, for-profit, non-profit, etc.
Programs: The program is designed to connect consumers to the internet exchange to improve the quality and latency in traffic routing and reduce their operating costs.
