Thinking of reliability: FICIX over here in Finland requires all full members to join _two_ switches in physically separate locations from separate points in your own network, using redundant fiber paths. Result: a very reliable IX. In Sweden Netnod has IX facilities in five cities around the country. AFAIK most of the traffic exchange is done over public peerings in Finland and Sweden - very reliably. --Kauto
