INX-ZA is a division of the Internet Service Providers’ Association (ISPA) of South Africa. We currently operate three Internet exchange points, namely the Johannesburg Internet exchange (JINX), Cape Town Internet Exchange (CINX) and Durban Internet Exchange (DINX)
The Internet exchanges (INXes) provide a mechanism neutral facility for ISPs and operators of Internet Protocol (IP) networks to connect their networks and exchange traffic. The exchanges encourage the local routing of Internet traffic not destined for international locationsby providing an optimal path for traffic to reach other networks within the same city, country or continent. This reduces the usage of expensive international links and improves network performance.
