Summary

Cloudflare, a web performance and security company, has doubled its number of Australian Internet exchanges by establishing connections to three new Megaport Internet exchanges in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. This marks the first time Cloudflare participates in exchanges outside of Sydney. Peering with ISPs allows Cloudflare to significantly increase service performance for users on those ISPs, resulting in lower latency and less congested paths. The company is constantly expanding its network and participating in more peering exchanges worldwide to create a faster web experience.
