We have more than eight in single cities of Europe.Peering in Oz is MPLA. This leads to no one worrying about having to be found to form peering relationships, so peeringdb is incomplete at best. I've tried to encourage people to add their data in. Is it always compulsory ? (I just did some legwork and read the WAIX policies, and it seems to be mandatory here) This surprises me, Multi-lateral peering is great for lots of networks, but really bad for others, and (if forced) probably acts as a barrier to the bigger networks from taking part in any public peering .... 1/3 from (expensive) transit to the "Gang of Four) who won't peer .... and acts as an incentive to pull out of the agreement as networks grow .. think about what happens when your customers' routes start appearing through your MLP session as well. I can think of some MLP-only exchanges in Europe, but I can't think of any that do significant traffic. Andy
