Why no optional MLPA like AADS? [...]we had one at first. after a few years of approximately no signatories, we stopped trying. my own experience is that bilaterals are more useful for engineering purposes and that multilaterals are kind of swampy.
One BGP session instead of dozens is more convenient. Maybe not more useful for engineering, but certainly less work than negotiating and configuring a bunch of sessions for bilateral peering. For smaller ISPs like mine, knowing in advance that you won't get snubbed for peering after connecting to an exchange is the big attraction. Given the dozens of signatories on the AADS MLPA, it looks like they can be quite popular. -Ralph
