And keep in mind that while the SIX and PAIX-SEA are directly connected, the exchanges are on different VLANs from the perspective of a PAIX-SEA connection. If you connect on the SIX side, you can only reach the SIX fabric. No MRC. If you connect on the PAIX-SEA side, you can reach both the SIX fabric and the PAIX-SEA fabric via a single router port. For MRC talk to an S&D rep. Chris
