Public shaming rarely works in one’s favor. :)
We’re committed to exposing aggregate graphs on the IX portion of the platform in the near future. The numbers aren’t going to make anyone swoon, but transparency is the key, not volume.

Hi Denver, It was never about public shaming, but at least the other participants of the exchange would be able to see what's going on. I'm not an advocate of having graphs truly publically accessible, but behind a portal you should be able to see the other participants port usage. Its immensely valuable for troubleshooting. Also - some IXs have a policy that if you run your port hot and refuse to upgrade they can terminate your service. I've not seen it done in practice however (after all - who would want to turn off a paying customer.) Tim
