Hi! Love the interconnection track. Great stuff. But I can't help but thi=
nk limiting interconnection to the peering/IXP view seems to be looking at i=
nterconnection from the rear view mirror.
I just think that changing the track name from peering/IXP to "Interconnecti=
on" has the optionality to be a bit more looking forward. Interconnection i=
n the network world is becoming more sophisticated and important than just o=
ld school peering (hearing the gasps of horror from the Nanog peering cabal a=
t that statement) ;)
Cheers
