INEX are pleased to to be able to release IXP Manager under an open source license (the GNU Public License V2) which we hope will benefit the wider IXP community, and especially new and small IXPs looking to expand. IXP Manager is a web application built entirely in house by the INEX operations team.
IXP Manager is primarily a web application with associated scripts and utilities which will allow IXPs to manage new customers, provision new connections and services and monitor traffic usage. It also has a self contained customer portal allowing IXP members to view their IXP traffic statistics and a unique tool called My Peering Manager enabling IXP members to request, manage and track peerings with other members.
IXP Manager is written in PHP using the Zend Framework, the Doctrine2 ORM and the Smarty templating engine. The project website and source code can be viewed at https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager.
INEX is an Internet eXchange Point and Ireland's IP peering hub. It is a neutral, industry-owned Association, founded in 1996, that provides IP peering facilities for its members. INEX membership is open to all organisations that can benefit from peering their IP traffic.

INEX itself has limited resources but are eager for IXP Manager to become the de facto management system for similar IXPs and are willing to help with installations so as to build better documentation. We will consider feature requests, especially where they benefit INEX also and would certainly love feature patches!
