        (sorry if you see it twice)

A bunch of us are thinking about multihoming solutions for IPv6. For this
purpose, it is useful to know a bit more about how actual networks (rather
than the ones existing only as ASCII drawings) interconnect. So:

- What are the 12 - 18 most important interconnect locations in the world?
  MAE East, the Ameritech, Sprint and PacBell NAPs, PAIX, LINX and AMS-IX
  come to mind, but from where I'm sitting it's hard to judge whether
  others are important or marginal.

        NSPIXP6 (tokyo) has the largest number of participants (40+).
        6TAP, NY6IX, 6IIX-NY, and PAIX palo alto comes to my mind next.
        check out http://www.v6nap.net/.

- Using private or public interconnects?

        both.  there are a lot of private interconnections over tunnel, which
        should be changed to CAT5 cable.
