Packet Clearing House is a telecommunications organization that supports critical Internet infrastructure, including Internet exchange points and the core domain name system, by providing operational assistance, security services, equipment, training, data, and research support. It positions itself as a neutral, independent contributor focused on improving Internet performance, reliability, and accessibility through global IXP development, DNS resources, and data-driven research on traffic exchange and routing economics. The company serves researchers, organizations, and policy makers seeking to enhance the robustness of the Internet and understand its architectural principles and policy implications. Based in Berkeley, California, with a history dating back to 1994, PCH has grown from regional interconnection efforts to a worldwide role in facilitating neutral interconnection and providing route-servers at major exchange points. Its ongoing projects include expanding IXPs in developing regions, supporting global DNS infrastructure, and promoting educational resources on Internet architecture. A notable recent development is the collaboration with CtrlS Datacenters to establish a DNS-focused node in Hyderabad, reflecting its international expansion and continued emphasis on DNS security and performance.
