In the few places I've participated in, this type of data
is often considered confidential between parties. In some
locations, like LINX, publication of this type of data is
considered as part of the service. It really depends on the
exchange operator and the participants at that exchange.
That being said, there are a number of good efforts to debate
discuss and publish data on this topic. Ren (Onyx) and WBN
(Equinix) are fairly active in this arena. In fact, I think WBN
will be hosting yet another peering BOF/pannel at the next
NANOG mtg.
