First I've ever seen the term IXP. It seems interesting. Can you point me to some documentation at a level which only requires the ability to read in english? Lots of what I've seen here has initials for things which I haven't even been able to decode.

I've been connecting 200 families in a 25 km radius to internet via 8 fiber optic connections for the last 20 years.

I've been thinking of inviting others to participate, help them get going.

Thinking how it might be useful to provide each client two accesses. one to the global internet, one to a local network which isn't being watched by big brother.

Does any of this warrant my looking further into IXP technology?

Thanks for your time.
