Hi all

Seeing a pro AKL-IX post here I just wanted to chime in.

We (Inspire / AS17705) joined AKL-IX pretty early on. We've been very happy with the service. We've seen a steady increase in ingress traffic over the IX since connecting.

Personally, I was given the choice by the hand-that-pays-the-bills to be on one IX and I chose AKL-IX. I'd much prefer to support a non-profit, community run IX rather than the various commercial IXes out there. I also tend to support the views expressed by theHoff and Mike recently over the SDN changes on the Citylink run IXes.

I, for one, welcome our new Australian overlords and would love to see the ISPs Jesse mentions join AKL-IX.

Cheers
Dave

Hey all,

A quick heads up about our experience on Akl-IX (community IX based in Auckland,��presence��in 220 Queen and ��Vocus Albany).

This past week we've seen our traffic coming in via the IX double, in part thanks to Microsoft peering and the Windows 10 updates that are hammering everyone's networks right now :)

Also recent growth in peers - I see Compass are on-boarding and a couple of other operators I've spoken with are peering shortly. ��

There are some large content providers on the IX, either directly connected or via "host member ISPs" - so if you've been considering peering and access to content might be a driver for on-boarding and you would like some more info, please speak to Joe Wooller of WAIA on��peering@akl-ix.nz or you can drop me an email.


If you're from:

Voyager
ICONZ
Trade Me
Sitehost
HD
Mediaworks

...I'd love to see you on the IX as we do a bit of traffic each day and the current inbound and outbound paths are not as optimal as they could be.
