        In the few places I've participated in, this type of data
        is often considered confidential between parties. In some
        locations, like LINX, publication of this type of data is
        considered as part of the service. It really depends on the
        exchange operator and the participants at that exchange.
        
        That being said, there are a number of good efforts to debate
        discuss and publish data on this topic.  Ren (Onyx) and WBN
        (Equinix) are fairly active in this arena. In fact, I think WBN 
        will be hosting yet another peering BOF/pannel at the next
        NANOG mtg.
