[AusNOG] PIPE NSW Changing Details

Wed Oct 1 12:20:17 EST 2014

*BAM!*

Go Megaport.

$250 peering only (1Gb)
$500 peering + VxC capability (10Gb)

News worthy day!

I wonder how long till Pipe Peering dies... most networks we run have
disconnected from it... Megaport and EQ cover most things.  I hear IX is
good, but not had the opportunity to connect up someone yet... will soon.

I'd love to see a route differential between all 4 on a state by state.. I
wonder if someone could do a snapshot analysis. I'm most interested in NSW.

I'd like to see what is and isn't on each peering.
