Hi Andy.

Exchange West (http://www.exwest.net) is a small regional project,
currently only 3 ASNs are online, but we hope to get a few more people
interested.

The exchange was launched last year and it's aim is to get regional
irish ISPs in the region to get a taste for peering at a near to zero
cost. A lot of the smaller ISPs use carrier PA or static routing, so
it's a good place for them to get started with BGP. Traffic is currently
< 1 mbit/s.

Kind regards,
Martin List-Petersen
