i think i saw several folks, not just stephen, say virtual wire was how they'd do an IXP today if they had to start from scratch. i know that for many here, starting from scratch isn't a reachable worldview, and so i've tagged most of the defenses of shared subnets with that caveat. the question i was answering was from someone starting from scratch, and when starting an IXP from scratch, a shared subnet would be just crazy talk. -- Paul Vixie
