[AusNOG] Domestic Peering WAS: Vocus peering traffic missingfrom PIPE-IX?

[Chris Ricks]

A few years ago, I was speaking to James Linton and Glen Ward from
Exetel about some of our services.

Glen was ex-Optus and mentioned that the peering arrangement was more of
a "swap" than straight settlement-free, whatever that means.

Regarding AAPT, they seem to be more aggressively competing for transit
deals at present. Exetel seemingly have the majority of their transit
capacity with them, iiNet and TPG have fairly decent transit with them
and quite a few people I've spoken to are getting approaches from them.

That said, they'd need to sort out their reliability issues to get
decent traction in the market one would think.
