One correction to that; F has been operating in India from NIXI =
Chennai's PoP since 2005. The reason you may not see it from your =
location in India is that it's a local node, so we advertise F's =
prefixes with the NO_EXPORT community string to limit it's reach to =
networks directly connected to the local IX/routeserver @NIXI Chennai.
And even with that restriction as noted at APNIC 33 in Dehli, the node =
is one of our (F's) busiest in Asia...
