>=20
The cost of an IX can be quite expensive actually. If you look at the =
RIPE
presentations from this week, there are stealth routing hijacks that =
come from
promiscuous peering as well as just the flat economics of connecting =
with a 10GE
or 100GE interface and the cost per gigabit you assign to the IX port. =
These
are flat rate ports, unlike transit that may offer you a price and =
commit rates
that allow you to reach everyone vs those just at the IX.
I=E2=80=99m hoping I don=E2=80=99t get in trouble for sharing this, but =
this collaboration exists
for europe on peering costs which are normalized in euro cents per =
megabit.
