I see the following AS's with direct peering to AS 1280 (the CIX):
97 JvNC/GES
174 PSI
200 BARRNET
701 AlterNet
1239 SPRINTLINK
1740 CERFNET
1957 ANS
2551 NETCOM
3110 HOLONET
That makes 9 directly connected network service providers, each
presumably with their own T1 into the CIX. There are a whole lot of
other AS's being announced into the CIX (153 distinct AS paths, not
including CERFNET), but how many of them are CIX members is not
something I can determine from this data. They are all being routed
through those other nine, and into the CIX, however.
But as we already know, Nearnet is a CIX member and pays ANS to carry
their traffic. They essentially have a virtual T-1 to the CIX.
