BIX.BG is the first Bulgarian company that provides Internet eXchange Point (IXP) services.

An IXP is a physical infrastructure through which Internet service providers (ISPs) exchange Internet traffic between their networks.

IXPs reduce the portion of an ISP's traffic which must be delivered via their upstream transit providers, thereby reducing the average per-bit delivery cost of their service. Furthermore, the increased number of paths learned through the IXP improves routing efficiency and fault-tolerance.

The primary purpose of an IXP is to allow networks to interconnect directly, via the exchange, rather than through one or more 3rd party networks. The advantages of the direct interconnection are numerous, but the primary reasons are cost, latency, and bandwidth.
