OP is referencing MPLS/BGP VPNs, not like IPsec VPNs. And I'm not sure that I've (personally) ever heard of an IXP for MPLS. The question really is... does it make sense for carriers to create an MPLS/BGP VPN sort of internet? I'd vote probably not in their immediate interests. --WM On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 11:44 AM, Bill Woodcock <woody@pch.net> wrote:

That would be like an IXP but for email. Or an IXP but for web traffic. VPNs are an application that run over IP, and IXPs are interconnection locations for IP traffic. So you don't need to worry about what you're worrying about.
Nor, for instance, do the VoIP people. Ahem.
