Woops, yes I forgot Any2 (how'd that happen? :P). Like Telx they've recently deployed a bunch of new exchanges "all over", but there is really only the one that does any traffic. :) For comparison purposes: http://www.seattleix.net/agg.htm http://www.nyiix.net/index.php?core=statistics.php http://tie.telx.com/usage.pl http://www.coresite.com/peering-any2charts.php I don't think the combined Equinix / S&D numbers are published publicly anywhere, but I'm sure it's north of a terabit. :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <r...@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
