Hmm, so maybe I'm just a maverick, we are not using any public peering =
fabrics at minute due to what can only be described as a senior =
management cluster foook [1], so on peeringdb we list some pops that we =
are in that we are willing (and do) have private peering sessions in. It =
doesn't say on peeringdb that there are IX's in some of these PoPs but =
hopefully when we need to establish a private interconnect with someone =
they will see we are in the same PoP as them even though there is no IX =
in that PoP and put 2 and 2 together, and contact us to discuss a cross =
connect.
For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not trying to poo poo the site, just =
trying to work out where the different is feature set lies exactly.
Cheers,
James.
[1] Is this a list for adults or children, my original email bounced =
