Just out of curiosity on this topic. Is there anyone who ever managed
to get a distributed peering point to work? If I remember history
somewhat correct, the first attempt was D-GIX back in 1993(?). That
failed (if Peter or someone else who was at KTHNOC back then is reading
maybe you can give the facts), and I think I know of 3-4 other attempts
that failed.
Anyone care to shed any light on this?
Best regards,
