Hmm, so maybe I'm just a maverick, we are not using any public peering
fabrics at minute due to what can only be described as a senior
management cluster fuck, so on peeringdb we list some pops that we are
in that we are willing (and do) have private peering sessions in. It
doesn't say on peeringdb that there are IX's in some of these PoPs but
hopefully when we need to establish a private interconnect with
someone they will see we are in the same PoP as them even though there
is no IX in that PoP and put 2 and 2 together, and contact us to
discuss a cross connect.

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not trying to poo poo the site, just
trying to work out where the different is feature set lies exactly.


Cheers,
James.
