Re: [nznog] Cloudflare on the APE

I see sufficient traffic taken at peak time to satisfy myself that its saving money for my organisation (but I agree, hard to point at that without numbers - and before you have a port) I am very excited to see what comes from having Cloudflare directly peering on the exchange (and I have signed up to peer across the fabric when launched) I have also noticed that Akamai are also on APE (they may have been for a while but I didn’t see it on their PeeringDB entry when I last looked at this. Does anyone know if you need to direct peer across the fabric to them to get much utilisation or are they just announcing everything they will announce publicly? APE and WIX ports have also allowed me to help out other networks in distress before where both parties could get to the same exchange when normal connections externally have a failure and we have been able to help them along until the repair arrived.

I was being light-hearted about public shaming. At earlier points of my career I was a big fan of the full disclosure of all ports from exchanges, but most of us understand the varying business sensitivities each of us have to honor wherever we work these days.

While per-port would be nice I think any stats would be great. One of the problems I've had in the past is that I couldn't point to a graph of APE and say "Look people are exchanging x Gb/s at peak over this, maybe it will be worth us joining".

Personally I always had a sneaking suspicion that Citylink never released graphs because the actual amount of traffic was tiny. Probably not true but how could I tell?
