IX---SwitchA---SwitchB---Routerok, i gotta ask. you folk really do this on exchanges?
I seem to think I've seen people doing this at most exchanges ISC has installed an F-root node at. The motivation is usually the avoidance of either expense ports on exchange switches, or the avoidance of expensive ports on routers (trunking the IX in as a vlan to a router on an existing port).
I'm not saying that the practice is good, or recommended, or without peril. But it's certainly not isolated to the UK.
