The only thing I would change is that Any2 has at least one exchange with traffic (Los Angeles) and is distributed throughout the country.
But the vast majority of traffic exchange over IXes in the US is over Equinix/PAIX switches. And a very large amount of traffic over private interconnects is also done in their buildings.
Woops, yes I forgot Any2 (how'd that happen? :P). Like Telx they've recently deployed a bunch of new exchanges "all over", but there is really only the one that does any traffic. :) For comparison purposes: http://www.seattleix.net/agg.htm http://www.nyiix.net/index.php?core=statistics.php http://tie.telx.com/usage.pl http://www.coresite.com/peering-any2charts.php I don't think the combined Equinix / S&D numbers are published publicly anywhere, but I'm sure it's north of a terabit. :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
