I am doing some research on connecting in Miami. Does anyone have an opinion on how well L3 Xroads is doing there?
Is the L3 Xroads much more than just a novel way to sell transit? I know L3 try to promote it as a "peering point" a-like, but I'm not convinced.
My understanding of it is that people who want to be at the datacenter just for inter-customer communication can do so and be charged less then those who want to purchase full transit. In practice I don't know how many people actually do this (which limits its usefulness greatly). I'd love for level3-southfield(detroit) to turn into a place where local michigan people all drop a circuit into and keep traffic out of chicago. -- Bill Fumerola - Network Architect, BOFH / Chimes, Inc. billf@chimesnet.com / billf@FreeBSD.org Disclaimer: my employer is a level3 customer and I am a customer of someone who uses level3 dtw for transit.
