Cutting Transit Costs with IX.br Peering

Peering at IX.br removes the domestic share of your traffic from your paid transit commit — and in Brazil that share is large, because most eyeball networks are present at the exchange. The saving usually exceeds the port cost quickly.

Measure first: look at how much of your traffic goes to Brazilian ASNs before deciding on port size. That number, not the rate card, tells you what peering is worth to you.

For a network carrying meaningful Brazilian traffic, joining IX.br is usually the largest single saving available. Not because the exchange is cheap — although it is, relative to transit — but because of how much traffic stops being billable.

The mechanism

Traffic you exchange with a peer never touches your transit provider, so it never appears in the volume you are billed on. If a third of your traffic goes to networks present at the exchange, that is a third of your transit bill that stops existing — and the exchange port costs a fraction of the transit it replaced.

What makes Brazil unusual is the concentration. A very large share of domestic eyeball networks are at IX.br, particularly in São Paulo. The proportion of traffic you can move off transit is therefore higher here than in most markets.

Working out whether it pays

For most networks with real Brazilian traffic the answer is obvious once the numbers are on the page. For a network whose traffic is almost entirely international, it may not be, and it is worth knowing that before committing.
