[2] The Boston IX is owned and operated by Markley Group, hosted in Markley's One Summer Street, Boston datacenter and their Prince Avenue, Lowell datacenter.

The domain bostonix.net was registered by Patrick Gilmore in 2010 and was donated to the exchange[citation needed].

In 2012 the Boston IX went online with the Free Software Foundation as its first participant[citation needed].

The exchange point supports IPv4 and IPv6 unicast peering, as well as private virtual network interconnects.

Initially in 2007, Barton Bruce from Global NAPs and TowardEX Technologies had planned to replace the aging Boston MXP due to Global NAPs closing down its business.
