Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) have been responsible for leading the most significant change on Internet ecosystem in the last 15 years. Despite the popularity of IXPs, a large number of countries delayed to introduce this infrastructure in their national networks. In 2013, Bolivia encouraged the creating of a national IXP, which motivated us to make the first study about an IXP in Latin America, in a country which had not deployed this infrastructure yet. However, due to the lack of vantage points of measurement projects in Bolivia, it was necessary to develop and deploy a measurement platform, which was called PladMeD, to be able to analyze the influence of the IXP. This works presents a six-month analysis about the influence of the IXP on the national network and it mainly focuses on the modifications in the interconnection as well as the quality of service.Downloads
