Wolfgang,

Australia isn't opposed to peering any more or less so than Europe. Difference is many operators wont set up direct sessions over the fabric, instead relying on peering with the Route Server(s) to exchange routes.

Cheers,
Tom

Hi,

Coming from Europe I have to say that I am still surprised about the reluctance in Australia to peer with each other. Leaving the large players and their various (mainly) political motives aside, why the reluctance among the small providers here?

To put it into perspective, we've just recently rolled out a substantial global Anycast deployment and while we are struggling to get decent numbers of peers at various IXes here we've established many in both Europe and the US.

Anybody can shed some light on this issue for me?

And for those that actually just would like to peer - our details are here: http://as58620.peeringdb.com
