Hi Conor, I know this is possible since Hurricane Electric does it for IPv6 transit, however, I'm not sure if it violates any exchange rules or if it's even a good idea.

An example, buy a 10G port on an exchange, peer 5Gbps of traffic with multiple providers on the exchange, and buy 5Gbps of IP transit from others on the exchange? Some might ask why not get a cross connect to the provider. It is cheaper to buy an port on the exchange (which includes the cross connect to the exchange) than buy multiple cross connects. Plus we are planning on getting a wave to the exchange, and not having any physical routers or switches at the datacenter where the exchange/wave terminates at. Is this possible?
