Internet exchange made simple.

Every time you stream a video, load a website, or run an AI application, that data crosses multiple networks before it reaches you. The places where those networks hand traffic to each other are called internet exchange points. Most people have never heard of them. They power the internet anyway. This guide explains what FD-IX is, how it works, why networks use us, and what that means in practice — for ISPs, enterprises, content providers, and increasingly, for AI infrastructure. What Is an I

Lifeline Data Centers operates the 401 North Shadeland facility as a carrier-neutral site on the east side of Indianapolis. It is one of the buildings in the market where multiple networks meet. Peering port options at FD-IX in this facility are straightforward: 10G, 25G, and 100G are all available The facility shows up in PeeringDB, which is how most engineers verify interconnection points before stepping into a building.

FD-IX introduces AI GravityMost networks move traffic toward users. AI operates differently. It draws resources toward the compute environment. This effect is called AI gravity. Data, storage, and networks begin to cluster around large AI compute environments, just as planets pull objects into orbit. Once the compute lands somewhere, everything else starts movingFD-IX.AIJustin Wilson
