According to pch they don't run most of them. I would say they run very few compared to how many there actually are.
Uhh... Reality check, with the S&D acquisition Equinix controls the VAST majority of the IX traffic in the US. The only other IX's doing anything even approaching interesting traffic are NOTA (in Miami), NYIIX (in New York), SIX (in Seattle), and the former AtlantaIX (now Telx TIE) in Atlanta. All are regional players, with very incomplete coverage of the important regions in the US, so if you're peering in the US you're almost guaranteed to be dealing with Equinix. Nobody else is even noteworthy, you can probably do more traffic than the "other" IX's by leaving a bit torrent client running overnight. Anyone can throw a Linksys switch in their basement and call themselves an exchange point, but that doesn't mean anyone is going to show up and peer there. -- 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)
