[AusNOG] NSWIX Peering

[Joseph Goldman]

As a consumer network, I no longer saw value in PIPE IX a while ago - 
very different for a hosting network as TPG are a large number of 
consumer population, but given Google, Apple, Netflix, Akamai, 
Cloudflare, Amazon, Microsoft etc are all on at least 1 or 2 of NSW-IX, 
EIE or MegaIX, then I saw no need for PIPE and its expensive price tag.

I actually calculated the other day, at my current average combined 
usage and cost of the 3 IX's I peer with, it works out about 40% cheaper 
per mbit compared to my transit costs, but obviously has lots of room 
for growth at the same fixed cost so that will only get better. IX's 
also account for 40-60% of my inbound traffic also, so definitely cheap!
