New IXP founders typically contact our staff
wow! i did not know we had the ixp god here! lemme go back to my camera-ready dreadline. :)
- Three or more participants - Shared layer-2 switch fabric across which participants peer with each other, exchanging customer routes - New participation is not too rigorously constrained (at least a domestic ISP new market entrant should be able to participate)
imiho, it is also nice if non-isp folk can participate, content, etc.
- Participants do not receive a metered-rate bill based on utilization
that's a new one. i am not sure i understand why. just seems a finer grained case of 100mb for $1, 1g for $5, and 10g for $20 or whatever. and i would add carrier neutrality, i can haul fiber from anyone into the exchange. this is pretty critical in the exchanges where i have played. randy
