What can go wrong? Technical Design Errors
Interconnected IXPs
- IXP in one location believes it should connect directly to the IXP in another location
- Who pays for the interconnect?
- How is traffic metered?
- Competes with the ISPs who already provide transit between the two locations (who then refuse to join IX, harming the viability of the IX)
- Metro interconnections are ok (e.g. LINX, AMSIX)
