Hi
Waiting for John to jump in here... but here is my 2 pesos.
NEARnet is a CIX member.
PSI is a CIX member.
ANS is a CIX member.
CIX members are obligated to exchange routes w/ each other. Usually
this occurs at the CIX location, since not all CIX members have the
richness of interconnection that NEARnet has.
It is not clear to me that your packets -have- to go to the west coast
to be CIX compliant.
ANS runs a network and NSF is buying service on that network. On that
same infrastructure, ANS runs both AUP and non-AUP compliant traffic.
Traceroute won't tell you the difference. You actually have to look at
the MERIT database that enumerates the ANS customer base that is non-AUP
compliant.
