It says it now shifts more than 1.5 Petabytes a day, on behalf of over 250 ISPs and carriers." How do our IX's compare? Obviously we won't be even close, a state of affairs not aided in any way by certain policies of certain telcos, but it'd be interesting to know how much traffic does actually traverse, in particular, APE and WIX. -- Matthew Poole "Don't use force.
