Dears, As far as I know, EMIX is NOT an Internet Exchange. They are more of an Internet Transit provider for the region.

I can't tell from the their website whether they're an exchange or a transit provider. Their website says that they facilitate peering, but it's not clear to me how that works -- can I talk BGP directly with my peer, or does it all go through EMIX? My information may not be 100% up-to-date, but historically, EMIX has been Etisalat's international transit gateway product, not an Internet exchange in the generally-accepted sense of the phrase. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_exchange_point a number of years ago i tried to get similar answers, while actually living in Dubai, and never got anywhere. i think bill is correct, although, i was never able to find a sales person willing to sell me an EMIX connection. it is sad really, because the UAE is well positioned to run a good sized and well connected exchange. --jim -Bill -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAk2Hu7wACgkQGvQy4xTRsBEUhQCeMCF/JzEHz9SZf1Gyq0Ik1/P5 ji8AoLfrXCkfzRVa4OqozzZN6MuSyAjS =7KGq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Menog mailing list Menog@menog.net http://lists.menog.net/mailman/listinfo/menog
