IIJ had some empty space when I was there the other day, you should ask them for a feed and some Us. :) Seriously though, is the requirement to be physically plugged into the fabric an important one? Might some ebgp multihop feeds to a remote route collector suffice? Drive Slow, Paul Wall On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 12:45 PM, Randy Bush <randy@psg.com> wrote:

we're looking at dropping 2/3 of a rack of routing research measurement kit into paix palo alto, and have some questions. considering the price of space and power, we want to kinda make sure we'll get the data we need.

we are looking specifically for a large amount of bgp peering data, we hope that folk will give us bgp peering though we expect no in- or out-bound traffic. think analogously to route views, though the kit on our end will be grinding the beans much more finely, espressoBGP :).

pnis are expensive. if we plug into the peering mesh, are any larger folk on it?

if not, would we be better off at the linx, at de-cix, at amsix, in stockholm?

private replies are probably better as this is not of general interest. thanks.
