Your IXP (network, whatever), you decision. Use 2 second timers for all I care. Unfortunately, DE-CIX has done exactly what you said - compared themselves to other IXPs using that apples-to-oranges comparison. There are words for that sort of thing, but they are impolite, and I otherwise like the people at DE-CIX, so I shall let each NANOG-ite decide how to view such, um, tactics. -- TTFN, patrick
