Depends on the IX (as I get off topic here) … some of them are daily in MMR’s. As for DC’s themselves, I can speak personally about one IX in particular where it’s 2-3 times a week I’d estimate and another one that is manned within the DC 24x7. > > An MMR not maintained by volunteers, but the paid building management.

It varies of course… quite a number of IX’s use colo providers whom are paid to do that MMR work but that’s not alway the case ….
