I'd like to second that as well. Paix pao1 where I had termination was very worth while. Several ipv6 peers in there as well including nokea and a few others. Just as an asside, it was well run as well as having a lot of people to peer with. On Fri, 17 May 2002, todd glassey wrote:
PAIX is a division of MFN (Metropolitan Fiber Networks) as Above.NET is as well. That means they share MFN's connectivity and peering agreements and as such are incredibly rich environments. Especially with someone like Paul Vixie running it, (PAIX that is) my take is that these are number one providers. I must admit though that I am a staunch Above.NET supporter and have been for ages having a single digit customer ID.

ATMbasedIXsare not as participant rich as they were 2-3 years ago. The fastest growing US interconnect locations are cross-connect enabled. PAIX & Equinix. Equinix-Ashburn, PAIX-Seattle,Equinix-Newarkand Equinix-Dallas and others have seen participation grow with adiverseblend of traffic from cable operators, telcos and content providers. Tier-1 means what? Look for growing sources of traffic.

Forthispurpose, it is useful to know a bit more about how actual networks(ratherthan the ones existing only as ASCII drawings) interconnect. So: - What are the 12 - 18 most important interconnect locations in theworld?MAE East, the Ameritech, Sprint and PacBell NAPs, PAIX, LINX andAMS-IXcome to mind, but from where I'm sitting it's hard to judgewhetherothers are important or marginal. - To how many of them do typical tier-1 and tier-2 networks connect? - Using private or public interconnects?
