Hi Richard, <putting on an SBC hat> We peer on the switch at Equinix-Ashburn with at least one other network not listed on your scan below.
Well, while I'm sure there are at least SOME people who are not in the unicast peering vlan, or for whatever reason block pings, but by far the vast majority of the people who they claim to be active are not. Don't get me wrong, I think Equinix offers the best carrier neutral colo service by far. But this has been a nagging problem for a while, I've gone down the list and spoken with engineers at the respective companies, and most of them say they're not installed yet and won't be for at least a couple/few months. In some cases I know for a fact that the equipment doesn't even have power cables plugged in, and yet they've been listed as a "switch participant" for 6 months or more. Through time this will get better of course, but I still consider it something akin to deceptive advertising if you're going in there because of who you think you can peer with. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras () e-gerbil net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
