About CMH-IX
The Columbus Internet Exchange is a virtual meeting point where Internet-enabled companies in the Midwest can exchange traffic between their networks.
The Internet is comprised of many independent networks of many sizes. Traffic may originate on any of these networks, and be destined for any other. Such traffic passes from one network to another at pre-arranged exchange points.
There are a relatively small number of exchange points on the Internet today. In the United States, there are only six primary points, and each is heavily burdened, yet critical to the Internet's efficient operation. In order to exchange traffic at these points, both the sending and receiving networks are responsible for carrying data to and from the appropriate exchange point, or for paying another network to do so.
