Traffic Statistics Reports
While many large networks move to private peering to manage their traffic/costs, the overall traffic at the exchanges on the public peering LAN continues to grow. The average peak aggregated traffic (within the Euro-IX Membership) was 27.177 Gbps during 2018. On average we collected data from 57 IXPs throughout the year (within the Euro-IX Membership).

BMC Reports
The Euro-IX Benchmarking Club (BMC) was initiated in November 2004 as a means for affiliated IXPs to exchange data about their business so as to enable them to compare their performances and policies. The BMC survey questions and final reports are reviewed each year by the BMC Committee. The current members of this committee are: Stefan Wahl (ECIX), Frederic Libotte (BNIX), Yolandi Robinson (NAPAfrica) and Alessandro Garlandini (TOP-IX).
For each round, the BMC Reports are only accessible for the Member IXPs that have taken part in the BMC Survey.
