Indeed, we do have multi-hop peering sessions on one of our route
collectors (rrc00). That one is specifically used for multi-hop
peerings.
On the other collectors, placed on a specific exchange, we prefer to
only have peers from that exchange, to prevent confusion.
However, we can not accept unlimited numbers of peerings, especially
peerings where we receive a full table, multi-hop or not.
The maximum appears to be around 15 for each collector, depending on the
hardware used for it.
If you think we should have a peering with someone that we don't have
already, perhaps multi-hop, we are interested to know (with an
explanation).
(and we are always interested in any suggestions to improve RIS)
