IXP in Asia are nation oriented. It is a mistake to think that an IXP in one country will give you access to other countries with have oceans in-between them. Connectivity between the countries are usually through the big global transist providers or bi-lateral AP-Mesh peering technique (private peering over an ocean which takes in oceanic circuit prices). So pick the country, then find the IXP in that country that would give you the best national coverage. All the IXPs in Asia are on the http://www.ep.net/naps_ap.html list. One thing you will note is that the big global transit providers show up in at least one IXP per country.

Hi Richard,
I was looking for more along the lines of opinions on which exchange points are significant, without having to go through that entire list looking for the english translations and trying to find traffic stats.
