Route Server Diagram for an IX
Normally on a peering exchange, all connected parties will establish bilateral peering relationships with each other customer connected to the exchange. As the number of connected parties increases, it becomes increasingly more difficult to manage peering relationships with customers of the exchange.
However, by using route servers for peering relationships, the number of BGP sessions per router stays at two, if the IX has deployed redundant servers.
