[NNagain] The Whys of the Wichita IXP Project

[Dave Cohen]

Prior to roughly 2016-17, most IXs in the US that we worked with were in a single site and that site was often not a third-party facility, often a private R&E oriented datacenter. I believe that aligns with what you were noting a few comments ago in this thread. I don’t believe that that is the case any longer.

These days I’m only focused on a couple of specific markets, but in those markets we are seeing both 1) a proliferation of IXs either adding nodes in new facilities or getting connectivity out to them to provide at least some capability and 2) datacenter providers, particularly more large-deployment-oriented facilities, seeking to attract IXPs in their sites or drive connectivity out to them as part of their own connectivity offerings.
