What's the situation with the philadelphia internet exchange? Their website, www.phlix.net does not resolve. Google is sparse. Anyone have any information regarding that IX? Is it gone? If it's gone, what are some viable alternatives for public peering in the philadelphia area?

Historically, there hasn't been much traction beyond regional peering in Philadelphia. Last I knew, 401 North Broad was the only building with a useful confluence of carriers. According to peeringdb.com, S&D still has a colo & switch there, as does 'cross connect solutions'. The S&D site confirms the population (http://www.switchanddata.com/sitelocations.asp?LocationId=27) and that the more enterprise-colo on Market street is still running as well. For your I2/edu connbectivity, MAGPI has the bulk of their connectivity in 401 North Board. Cheers! Joe -- RSUC / GweepNet / Spunk / FnB / Usenix / SAGE
