Woohoo! This is great news for those who've been asking for this for years. Thanks :)
Does this mean we might soon get to hear real peering traffic statistics for the IXPs, so that we might understand the traffic volumes in NZ a little better? Your blog post mentions the filtering bridge can do about 500Mbps and that should be fine, does that provide us a hint to the volume of traffic on WIX?

Hi all
Around ~4am Monday morning I'll be moving ~35 of the busier peers on WIX into the new(ish) shiny(ish) dedicated-to-WIX vlan on Citylink. There will be an infinitessimally small outage for each peer being moved (long enough for "switchport access vlan" to take effect, and some MACs to be relearned), and I'll test each peer as I go for reachability. So there shouldn't be any particular impact to customers or the IX as a whole.
The peers getting moved (and the others getting left behind) is discussed in gory detail at:
