Yeah, what's the issue? US public peering ports are absurdly overpriced. Anyone had a laugh at the PAIX list prices when seeing them first? Considering LINX and AMSIX are their own companies for some years now they are doing an excellent job at being (too?) affordable, but it surely works. Then when I think about the NYIIX woes some time ago and other stuff (like the current PAIX trouble) I cannot help but get rid of public peering, especially in the US. As another matter I do not believe in public peering at all when you have flows to a single peer that are ore than half of a full GE. Been there, was not at all nice. I guess more and more operators will have less and less public IX ports, and the open peering coalition will start wondering at some point... The AMSIX has a lot of 10G peers. While they just take two ports, and the AMSIX supposedly also being redundant (and cheap <g>) it is just a time- bomb. How many times did either LINX or AMSIX had issues (actually very rare!) and we happily overloaded our peers' interfaces at the respective other IX... Say what you want, but public peering (yes/no) has a lot to do with your amount of traffic, and your peers. Paying 3 to 4 times as much in the US for the very same I am sure I get even less value - and I'm pulling out. (Well, since we stumbled about this topic... thanks, ras!) Alexander
