OK, I give and admit my ignorance. What does "MLP" mean in this context ?A google search for "Australia mlp" reveals many hits for "My Little Pony,"which somehow I doubt is the intended meaning on this list.
Smile...Here it stands for Multilateral peering, so in simplistic terms it means you peer with everyone at an exchange. A route server.
My issue isn't that they exist (and in fact one network I maintain is a member of three MLPs.) The issue is compelling people to join the MLP. This dissuades large networks from joining in with the public peering game, and is probably harmful to the peering ecology of the region rather than helpful.
