Please clarify here... are you using a route reflector, or route server model. Route reflector is iBGP, while route server is eBGP. But, as we have urged at the AfNOG workshops, the method that works best with regard to transfer and implementation if knowledge, as well as providing flexibility in exchange peering options, is the full mesh approach. The route server model is good to get things going in the start, but that doesn't justify it being a long term solution. > at the exchange has .1 and each > ISP gets the next available IP.

Monitoring the switch should give you a pretty accurate figure on how much traffic the exchange is generating. At the very least, each ISP should monitor its router at the exchange to get an idea of how much traffic they are sending to/receiving from the exchange point.
