I would not be surprised to find that it is. Asia Pacific is an enormous region with lots of inconvenient ocean all over it. An in-region strategy which works for peering with Japan or Hong Kong or Korea is unlikely to put you close to a large number of New Zealand operators, to give an extreme example. Given the enormous scope of the question, the US west coast almost sounds like an effective common denominator *regardless* of the state of interconnection within the region, or the history of US-centric traffic demand and under-sea cable routes. > In Japan there are 4 IXes I'm aware of (JPIX and NSPIXP-2 being the > largest).

I think a question about the best place to peer within Asia is more likely to have interesting answers than the question about Asia Pacific. Joe
