== History ==

The first IXP in Sweden was set up in 1992 when the Swedish University’s Computer Network (SUNET), Telia and Tele2 wanted to exchange traffic with each other. SUNET developed a neutral IXP based at Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH) in Stockholm which connected all three operators. Major changes were seen when the Internet grew and Netnod formulated a second and independent exchange point in Stockholm in 1997. It was in the year 1999 that consultants of Netnod became active in the international Internet scene. In 2000 a subsidiary of Netnod was formed and was named Autonomica. It focused on research and smooth operation of .SE’s slave servers at various exchange points. It also took over the responsibility of i.root-servers.net root name server from NORDUnet. Many of Netnod's services were offered by Autonomica. In 2010 it was merged with Netnod, leaving a single name. <ref>[http://www.netnod.se/about About Netnod]</ref> In 2009, Netnod built DWDM system at the Telecity to reduce the cost of connecting to Netnod. Recently, Netnod installed two route servers in Stockholm to ease the process of peering administration for the operators.
