Hi Clayton,
Putting on my TorIX hat, I'll address what you've brought up:
1. We implemented port security because MAC ACL's were not effectively
blocking certain types of bad traffic, which was a problem with the
hardware in place at the time. As you are certainly aware, getting
vendors to w
r than the
one you registered with them (Equnix filters the MAC, but doesn't apply a
60 minute port shut down penalty if you leak like TorIX does).

Having run an exchange, I can speak to a couple of points.
1.An exchange is only as good as any other provider. If they don¹t have a
redundant design then you have more room for failure. Same can be said
about good staff behind it. If they know what they are doing and keep it
simple, then it ca
peering once we turned up - significant. I'd say that we now get 2/3 of
our inbound by peering, the rest via transit. Netflix is the obvious
reason...

Yes, we could of course pay for some space and power with a shared hosting
provider, but buying a full rack and power for a single router seems silly.
The ideal person to buy the small amount of space and power from would be

At the risk of being snarky, if somebody doesn't have a presence where do
you connect the other end of the cross-connect cable? :)

Hi,
I’m pretty sure IX Reach can take you into an Equinix exchange, so it is

Not necessarily.
It's just that when money is changing hands, folk tend to
find (passive) x-connects within the data centre to be far
more reliable
Be careful joining an IX just to peer with Google (AS15169) and a few
others...especially if your exchange doesn’t have route servers established.
Some companies, such as NetFlix, have a truly open peering policy; establishing
a bilateral BGP session with them is super-straightforward.

Hi Conor,
I know this is possible since Hurricane Electric does it for IPv6 transit,
however, I'm not sure if it violates any exchange rules or if it's even a good
idea.

The exchange in question is Equinix. Their sales team is leading me

I know a couple networks that offer to sell transit over exchanges that permit
it, but require that you take a private VLAN on the exchange.
Some exchanges offer private VLANs, others don't.

it depends. Some transit providers will decline to do this because it can

I know typically peering exchanges are made for peering traffic between
providers, but can you buy IP transit from a provider on an exchange? An
