I also believe in the RIPE-NCC to be able to distinguish between enterprises that might request a status of an IXP. It all depends of the policy and conditions. This is very simple. Have a lock at the peering matrix and you can distinguish between a enterprise and an IXP (or am i wrong here?).
So is C&W (just to pick one example) an enterprise or an IXP?
C&W is a enterprise. Period. They operate at least 2 IXP's, but if Enterprises operate a IXP or anyone who operates / will operate an IXP should taken care of. We should work on policies for the IXP-IPV6-SPACE ... (anyhow, gert, isn't SPACE in SpaceNet *SCNR*)
Yes, I am nitpicking, but if you want to introduce special categories, you should be able to specify the criteria pretty well.
But it's better that we do currently nitpicking than filling holes later on :-) --jan -- Jan Ahrent Czmok - Senior Network Engineer - Access Networks Global Access Telecommunications, Inc. - Stephanstr. 3 - 60313 Frankfurt voice: +49 69 299896-35 - fax: +49 69 299896-66 - email: czmok@gatel.de
