• Latency is greatly reduced because it eliminates data hops and
creates a more direct flow, so connections are faster.
• By using an exchange like MICE and combining paths, ISPs
improve routing options, which creates greater efficiency and
provides increased fault tolerance.
• Because large amounts of traffic can be exchanged directly
between providers, there can be significant cost savings for
high-bandwidth sites and networks.
