[MIXP Discussion] Peering with another local AS via the MIXP, why not?

Dear All,

Trust you are doing great!

We have noted that some of the local players in Mauritius are still hesitant to have an open bilateral peering via the MIXP and some even prefer to have direct "paid" local peering links instead of going through the existing IXP.

What are your challenges?

What is your internal policy on peering on the MIXP?

Did you try sensitising your superiors on the benefits of peering over an IXP?
