We are now peering on APE. Those wishing to peer with us directly, please contact me off list.
I would strongly suggest it.. as it appears that most people seem to have an advertise all, accept none policy in regards to the route servers.
This doesn't fit with our experience on the IXes. We have generally found most people are running basically an advertise all, accept all (except obvious badness) policy on the IXes. I'd be interested to see any evidence of a widespread practice of overly strict inbound filtering of routes from APE/WIX/etc, as it would encourage us to do more bilateral peering. Cheers, -jasper
