Hi Iljitsch,
I would not consider Sprint NAP, a place closed to new customers for
several years, an important interconnect location in the US. ATM based IXs
are not as participant rich as they were 2-3 years ago.
The fastest growing US interconnect locations are cross-connect
enabled. PAIX & Equinix. Equinix-Ashburn, PAIX-Seattle, Equinix-Newark
and Equinix-Dallas and others have seen participation grow with a diverse
blend of traffic from cable operators, telcos and content providers.
Tier-1 means what? Look for growing sources of traffic.
Your mileage may vary, -ren

A bunch of us are thinking about multihoming solutions for IPv6. For this

than the ones existing only as ASCII drawings) interconnect. So:
- What are the 12 - 18 most important interconnect locations in the world?
MAE East, the Ameritech, Sprint and PacBell NAPs, PAIX, LINX and AMS-IX
come to mind, but from where I'm sitting it's hard to judge whether
others are important or marginal.
- To how many of them do typical tier-1 and tier-2 networks connect?
- Using private or public interconnects?
