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!

There on their last legs with us. Between IXAU and Megaport there 
effectively useless.

There are a lot of people industry wide trying to determine whether they 
should start dropping the PIPE fabric nationally with the only legitimate 
reason being 'TPG advertise some of subnets here'.    
Good question Shane!

 Hijacking this a little bit, what do people actually look for when you're 
deciding what IXP you should peer with? Is it table size, traffic volume, 
or a specific peer that's on the fabric?

I've always peered with WAIX because that's just what we had, but i'm 
curious what metrics people care about when you have a choice.

Hi Gavin,  

I think Joe's figures may be a little off, the routing table is 
approximately:  

RS1 v4: 14343  

RS2 v4: 14337 
RS1 v6: 943 RS2 v6: 943   
 Many Thanks,
 Nathan Brookfield
