In Albania this is the first neutral Internet exchange project non-for-profit where national ISPs and International Carrier come to interconnect their networks, improving their speed, bandwidth, and security of their data. The IXP is a physical infrastructure through which Internet service providers (ISPs) and CDN (Content Delivery Networks) exchange Internet traffic, this reduce the ISP's share of traffic, which should be delivered through their upstream transit providers, thus reducing the average cost of bit allocation for their service. Direct connectivity, often located in the same city as the two networks, avoids the need for data to travel to other cities (potentially on other continents) to get from one network to another, thus reducing the delay. The advantages of direct connectivity are many, but the main ones are cost, latency and bandwidth.
