Doh! Yes. Must get reading lessons. Missed the word "remaining".
Currently I have no foolproof way to differentiate traffic that
goes over the LINX destined for in UK and outside UK. There's
some work going on to build a list of UK ASes to this end (amongst
others) but it hasn't been done yet.
Jim is quite right (except it works bidirectionally).
