Internet Exchange of Puerto Rico

The first two routers attached to IXPR.

The Internet Exchange of Puerto Rico (IXPR) is 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 of Puerto Rico, ULTRACOM, Caribe.Net, and the University of Puerto Rico were the first nodes to exchange data through the point. As of today, IXPR uses a Cisco gigabit Ethernet switch.
