RE: Buying IP Bandwidth Across a Peering Exchange

["Tony Wicks" <tony () wicks co nz>]

I have seen this work well when the exchange allows more than one MAC address to be presented at layer2. This way you 
can have two separate sub interfaces presented, one for peering and one for your private cross connect/transit. That 
way the routing all stays clean and manageable. It's still a little messy, but is a much better solution than getting 
peering and transit over a single layer3 interface.

I know a couple networks that offer to sell transit over exchanges that permit it, but require that you take a private 
VLAN on the exchange.

Some exchanges offer private VLANs, others don't.
