I'm having trouble parsing this. You connect your FE or GE port to an ISL/802.11q trunk to the colo's/IX switch. Then either a)everyone is in the same broadcast domain (dumb but no config), or there's a VLAN on that trunk from/to you to your peer(s). Save for the colo's/IX administrative/xconnect fee, where's the "lot of cost"? Michel.
