That said, I do have a question: Who is on WIX, but does not peer with the RS'? If anyone is like this, please contact me so we can establish peering.
You can see who peers with the servers at the wix web site. As to who doesn't peer, I think that's a question for the readers of this list. We'd love to have you peer with the servers as well as with Alastair. While you're all free to negotiate bilateral peering arrangements with each other across the APE and WIX, we think that you should also peer with the servers and apply filters and preferences etc as you see fit as well. Remember that if you're a second tier ISP (be honest with assessment of yourself) then peering is going to get harder over the immediate short term if/when TelstraClear, Telecom (and possibly MCI) pull back from peering with you all. At that point if you're all peering with each other over the exchanges and you can say all our routes are available at the route servers you may be in better shape to negotiate. Or you can let the big boys play the "divide and conquer" game they love so dearly.
