The real problem with CIX is that their policy is technically
cannot be enforced. Since IP is based on destination-only routing
decisions if i route to some networks thru CIX i have to route
packets this way for *all* my customers.
That's why MAE-East and D-GIX project are based on level-2
interconnectivity and *do not* discriminate between indirectly
reacheable networks.
As it stands CIX is a perfect example of politics ignoring technical
laws.
