It should be noted that ISPs usually do not announce address space used on the IXP mesh itself to their peers. That means the address space assigned under this policy is likely not to be routable globally. Care to explain how traceroute through these IX's is supposed to work, if the node performing traceroute, ping, or whatever, is not a small-scale customer (ie. default route) of the IX participants?
works quite well, actually. each participating isp routes the mesh in their internal and customer networks, just does not hand it to peers. this is quite common in v4 exchanges. see my nanog presentation in feb '97. randy
