The Internet Exchange of Puerto Rico (IXPR, originally PRIX) was an internet exchange point situated in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It was established on November 22, 2005 by the Gauss Research Laboratory of the University of Puerto Rico. Packet Clearing House (PCH) and Dell donated the equipment. Bill Woodcock from PCH served as technical advisor.
IXPR was the first internet exchange point set in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Centennial de Puerto Rico, ULTRACOM, Caribe.Net, and the University of Puerto Rico were the first nodes to exchange data through the point. IXPR used a Cisco gigabit Ethernet switch.
As of 2011, IXPR is no longer operating as an Internet Exchange Point.
Famous quotes containing the word exchange:
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
