Federal Internet Exchange
Federal Internet Exchange (FIX) points were policy-based network peering points where U.S. federal agency networks, such as the National Science Foundation Network (NSFNET), NASA Science Network (NSN), Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), and MILNET were interconnected.
Two FIXes were established in June 1989 under the auspices of the Federal Engineering Planning Group (FEPG).
