Thats right somebody willing to offer a list where we can reload the discussions (old archives ) so that we clean out the IX that will make life alittle bit easier when it comes to solving problems regarding the IX issues and keeping routes, prefixes up to date, otherwise it might seem to be a little harder when we can't communicate.

Good point but that's assuming that the connectivity to the IX is the
problem. I believe that's just part of the problem. We need to go back
to basics and re-convince 'management' that connectivity to the IX is
good for us. At the moment, it's proving really hard since we don't have
any stats to speak of despite the fact that the IX has been around or
awhile now. That's why we see things like routers being pulled from the
IX to be put to 'better' use elsewhere and links to the IX not being a
priority when they go down. Techies too need to realize the importance
and help keep routes and prefixes update .. which is not happening at
the moment. Once we get these going, then we can start looking at links
and capacity.
