An Internet exchange point (IXP) can only be truly successful if it is sustainable, actively managed, and continuously evolving. In other words, if it’s not a zombie.

Zombie IXPs run on autopilot, with little planning, investment, or new peers. But they don’t all look the same, and can emerge from different governance models and challenges.

Hear from Russell Bean, our IXP development expert, on some of the most common types of zombie IXPs, their symptoms, and how to treat them ⬇️ https://t.co/oF6DSh8JDR
