Some IXPs are not only infrastructure for interconnection and they sometimes offer some public services. I cannot determine all of them, but in example: NTP, traffic statistics, root DNS servers and some other (hope people from LINX or NETNOD should find some others).
It was also discussed if the addresses should actually be announced. It was felt that this is not really necessary, but that some IXPs do it anyway. There was no conclusion if this should be part of the policy (e.g. the micro-allocation policy implemented in the ARIN region does require that the prefix is not announced).
You have to announce addresses for "public" services.
Public services offered by the LINX include all those listed above, plus our "marketing" website. (Internet companies need websites too!) We also run several websites and mailing lists for "good causes", like the Internet User Privacy Forum and Internet Crime Forum. -- Roland Perry | tel: +44 1733 207705 | roland@linx.org Director of Public Policy | fax: +44 1733 207729 | http://www.linx.net London Internet Exchange | mbl: +44 7050 604080 | /contact/roland
