Medallion Data Centres says it carries over 70% of internet traffic at the Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria (IXPN) which allows service providers to keep local traffic within the country.

Engineer Ikechukwu Nnamani, Medallion Data Centres CEO who reveals this, says that the provider of carrier-neutral data centre services has become a leading force in the effort to retain local internet traffic in Nigeria.

IXPN was set up as a physical infrastructure that allows several Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and network operators to exchange traffic between their networks, generally referred to as autonomous systems, by means of mutual peering agreements, which allow traffic to be exchanged at no cost, according to the company.
