Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) are where backbone owners connect with one another. These hubs allow for the exchange of Internet traffic between different networks, without the need for going through an external network service provider (NSP). ISPs and NSPs may also connect to IXPs to exchange traffic with other networks. Metropolitan Access Points (MAPs) refer to the physical locations where ISPs connect with their customers, while NSPs are companies that provide network infrastructure and services.
