The absence of IXPs in under-developed regions creates a poor network and the quality of data transfer is not so good.<ref>[http://www.isoc.org/internet/issues/ixp.shtml ISOC]</ref> | Furthermore, the speed of data transfer through an IXP is much higher due to the greater bandwidth.

== Governance Models == | |||
There are different governance models, varying from for-profit to non-profit versions. There are industry led IXPs like DE-CIX that delegates decisions to an industry association, multistakeholder-led IXPs that were established by the government like CAIX, and hybrid IXPs like KIXP that were set up by the industry with multistakeholder participation. Member-based IXPs like LINX and AMS-IX allow direct voting.<ref>https://research.tudelft.nl/en/publications/multistakeholder-governance-and-nodal-authority-understanding-int</ref> | |||
