NAPLA is the acronym for Network Access Points of Latin America. A network access point or an IXP is a point where ISPs meet to exchange data between them. NAPLA is an effort by IXPs of Latin America and Caribbean to create a better data sharing environment within the region. NAPLA manages a mailing list and holds annual meeting alongside the annual meeting of LACNIC.[1]
